    This wasn’t built for b2b media companies but can’t tell you how helpful it was as I was studying paid subs/memberships before we rolled out ours on and Such great practical advice for media companies which is so rare these days. Amazing resource

    Today ends after 4+ yrs, about 3 of which I’ve been w/the Puzzle for. It’s been an incredible journey – an occasionally hard, but always inspiring one that I’m so grateful to have taken. A thread of reflections and thank yous 👇

    So many lessons here. The one sitting with me rn? The team defined their “done” so early on. They worked tirelessly for 3 years to get to this beautiful and bittersweet sunsetting of one of journalism’s most important projects.

    Our body of work is a synthesis of what newsrooms around the world are learning about membership. We’ve been on a journey of discovery together. We couldn’t have done this work without you, and we are looking forward to seeing how you continue the work without MPP. /END
