Bloomberg Media launches Work Wise

Bloomberg Media has launched Work Wise, a new site focused on career and workplace content, reports Max Willens of Digiday.

Willens reports, “Bloomberg’s goal for Work Wise, which will run for six months at first as an experiment, is to gauge the appetite for workplace and career advice content, particularly among Bloomberg’s younger readers. There are multiple opportunities to monetize Work Wise, from content sponsorships to branded content distribution to lead generation for subscriptions: Subscribers to Work Wise’s newsletters are offered 30-day trials of the publisher’s subscription product.
