For media groups

A new line of business for your outlet: Guides with your brand.

Your curation and recommendations become products for your local audience.

Doubly handles all the tech and the support.

What the Guide brings your outlet

A new product that uses what the media group already has: audience, credibility and presence across channels.

New line of business

Turn your audience into revenue with themed Guides, sold on your website and promoted in your programming.

Monetize your credibility

Offer digital products that people buy and brands want to sponsor, under your outlet's name.

Cross-media integration

Connect TV, radio, website and social media in one journey that ends at the venue's counter.

High-value editorial products

Food, travel, beauty, sports and more. Every section, award or festival in the group can become a Guide.

Effortless operations

Doubly handles the page, the app, sales, perk validation and audience support.

The Guia Quatro Rodas was sold at newsstands for 50 years

In 1965, Brazilian publisher Editora Abril turned its hotel, restaurant and road recommendations into an annual guide that readers bought. A Guide opens the same path for your outlet.

Editora Abril, 1965 to 2015

Guia Quatro Rodas

The magazine's curation became a product in its own right, sold every year and used as a reference by people traveling the country. It was where Brazil's first hotel and restaurant ratings appeared.

New business for every part of the group

The same tool becomes a product to sell on several fronts, with the sales team the group already has.

Subscriptions

A perks club that people pay for, or that comes with the subscription and helps retain subscribers.

Special projects

A new format for advertisers: the brand sponsors the Guide and shows up at every place included.

Events

The group's festival or award gets an official Guide, with a sponsorship package and a perk for the audience.

Markets and affiliates

Each affiliate sells its own Guide to local advertisers, with regional reach and coverage.

Tourism and government

Tourist routes built with tourism boards and sold as a project.

Four products for your sales team to sell

Each format is a different product with its own business model. The group chooses what to sell, to whom and in which markets.

The Guides shown here are illustrative examples. Outlet, brands and prices are fictional.

“Will we need a tech team?”

No. Doubly builds and maintains the whole setup. Your team keeps doing business development, which it already does well.

Build

Guide page, app in the stores, payment and validation at the counter, with no development by the group.

Maintenance

App updates, store rules, payment method and fixes are on Doubly.

Support

Support for the audience and the venues, from sign-up to perk redemption.

How it works

From Guide created to perk redeemed at the counter.

1

The Guide is created

With payment on, to sell to the public, or free, when someone sponsors it.

2

The group promotes it

TV, radio, website and social bring the audience to the Guide.

3

The audience goes to the place

They show the Guide at the venue, which validates the perk at the counter.

4

Doubly provides support

Support for customers and venues, from start to finish.
