Texas Monthly’s Multichannel Campaign Drives Newsletter Subscriber Growth

Since 1973, Texas Monthly has covered all things Texan with vital reporting and vivid, award-winning longform storytelling across various media platforms including podcasts, print, digital, video, and events.

The Challenge

To promote one of its monthly true crime podcasts, “Stephenville,” which recounts the case of a 20-year-old murder mystery, Texas Monthly needed a centralized platform to drive interest and engagement.
