  • Race
  • Climate
  • Sex
  • Gender
  • Tech
  • Money

Erin Hennessy, executive director of insights for The New York Times said:

“Pivotal offers marketers an unequalled opportunity to learn about how consumers think and feel about the most pressing issues facing our communities. Brands have the opportunity to apply this knowledge and embrace what it means for a brand to be relevant today.”

Allison Murphy, senior vice president, Ad Innovation added:

“The New York Times’s unique and rich first-party audience data has enabled us to create a thought leadership platform like no other. With more than 6.5 million subscriptions and millions of registered readers, The New York Times has the unique ability to harness the power of billions of data points on what matters to readers today and illuminate their interests through the subject matter expertise of our journalists.”
