Lucy Alexander on The Six Sells Podcast
In this episode of The Six Sells Podcast, Mike Nicholson from Six Sells spoke with Lucy Alexander, Director of Insight & Analytics, at the Financial Times.
Lucy began her career in 2009 at the Telegraph during the credit crunch, and has since worked at Channel 4, Burberry, and ASOS before joining the FT eight years ago.
This episode touched upon many topics which include:
The collaborative environment and high-quality work culture at the FT, with an emphasis on a team effort and long-term employee retention.
The importance of understanding that you are not your customer.
FT’s trust is built on sound business practices and top-tier journalism.
How trust is measured
The importance of data in supporting advertising, subscription strategies, and overall business decisions.
How ‘data democratisation’ allows teams to access and utilise data independently, which supports decision-making across departments, from advertising to editorial strategy.
Balancing free and subscription offers to maximise reader engagement.
FT is experimenting with AI tools like ChatGPT and has partnered with OpenAI to enhance workflows and improve efficiency.
Lucy also talked about the importance of integrating AI while being mindful of ethical considerations.
