Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Gannett Co., Inc. can take its existing products and services into new markets. This is about geographic expansion and finding new customer types for what you already have built.

For the LocaliQ Digital Marketing Solutions (DMS) platform, which generated core platform revenues of $108.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, expanding geographic reach is a clear next step. The Q3 2025 core platform revenues reached $114.0 million, showing continued growth in the existing footprint. This success provides a model to deploy in new US metro areas where Gannett Co., Inc. currently lacks a physical or strong digital presence.

Marketing the existing USA TODAY Network content internationally beyond the UK's Newsquest subsidiary requires a benchmark. Newsquest, a wholly-owned subsidiary, had a digital audience in 2024 of approximately 53 million monthly unique users in the U.K.. This contrasts with the total USA TODAY Network digital reach in the US, which hit 195 million average monthly unique visitors in Q1 2025. The goal is to find international partners that can match or exceed the scale seen in the domestic market.

Targeting new B2B segments, like national franchises, relies on the proven model seen in the DMS segment. The platform's ability to drive revenue, as evidenced by the $114.0 million in core platform revenues in Q3 2025, suggests scalability to larger, multi-location clients.

Attracting national advertisers is directly supported by the massive digital scale achieved. Gannett Co., Inc. reported 195 million average monthly unique visitors in Q1 2025. This audience scale, which is targeted for digital revenues to reach 50% of total revenues in 2025, underpins the pitch for hyper-local ad campaigns. In Q1 2025, digital advertising revenues specifically were $83.4 million.

Entering new US states through acquisition is a capital-allocation play. The strategic divestiture of the Austin American-Statesman in Q1 2025 meant revenue from exited operations totaled $16 million in that quarter. This move, intended for debt reduction, which saw approximately $100 million repaid in the first six months of 2025, frees up capital that could be redeployed for acquiring small, profitable digital-only local news operations.

Here's a look at the scale metrics supporting these market development moves:

Metric	Value/Amount	Period/Context
Total Digital Audience Reach	195 million	Q1 2025 Average Monthly Unique Visitors
Newsquest (UK) Digital Audience	Approximately 53 million	2024 Average Monthly Unique Users
LocaliQ DMS Core Platform Revenue	$114.0 million	Q3 2025
Total Digital Revenue	$262.7 million	Q3 2025
Digital Revenue as % of Total Revenue	46.9%	Q3 2025
Total Debt Outstanding	$996.4 million	September 30, 2025

The company is focused on improving its capital structure, having repaid over $135 million of debt projected by the end of 2025. This financial discipline is key for any market expansion, whether organic or through M&A.

You should review the current geographic distribution of the 187 million digital visitors reported in Q3 2025 to pinpoint the highest-potential underserved US metro areas for LocaliQ DMS deployment.

Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) is building new offerings on top of its existing audience base. This is pure Product Development on the Ansoff Matrix, focusing on creating new digital products for the audience you already have.

The focus is clearly digital monetization, building on the 187 million average monthly unique visitors reported in the third quarter of 2025, up from 181 million in the second quarter of 2025. Digital-only subscription revenues showed sequential growth, hitting $43.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, following $42.7 million in the second quarter. This is part of a larger trend where total digital revenues reached $262.7 million in Q3 2025, representing 46.9% of total revenues.

The strategy involves launching specialized content verticals:

• Launch new digital-only subscription verticals like the successful Studio IX (women's sports) to the existing audience.
• USA TODAY Studio IX, a centralized content vertical dedicated to women's sports, launched in 2025.
• USA TODAY Sports, which feeds Studio IX, already reached approximately 46 million unique visitors monthly as of December 2024.

Next, you are pushing for higher-value digital products, specifically using Artificial Intelligence:

Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) is introducing premium, AI-driven personalized news feeds and data analytics tools for high-value digital subscribers. The most concrete example is the full rollout of DeeperDive, the generative AI answer engine developed with Taboola.

Product/Metric	Detail	Date/Period
DeeperDive Beta Launch	To a percentage of USA TODAY readers	June 2025
DeeperDive Full Rollout	On USA TODAY for all users	September 2025
Audience Served by DeeperDive	Over 195 million monthly unique visitors	Post-September 2025
Content Source	Exclusively Gannett's journalism	Ongoing
Next Phase Testing	'Agentic tools' for purchasing decisions	Q4 2025

This AI integration is a direct response to the risk of declining search traffic from Google's AI Overview feature.

For monetizing other digital content, you look at historical context. While specific 2025 crosswords/games revenue isn't available, you know that in the past, USA TODAY launched subscriber-only access to crossword puzzle games. This suggests a continued strategy of putting premium, non-core news content behind the paywall to boost digital-only paid subscriptions, which stood at 1,953,000 in the US as of September 30, 2024.

The rollout of DeeperDive across more USA TODAY Network properties is happening now. The initial launch was on USA TODAY, serving its 195 million monthly visitors. The success of the June beta prompted the full rollout in September 2025.

Finally, you are enhancing print offerings with digital integration. You have a benchmark from 2021 where print subscription revenue (which includes print-plus-digital bundles) reached more than $1.1 billion, making up 36% of total overall revenue that year. A key metric for activation is that more than 53% of full-access (print-plus-digital) subscribers have activated their digital account. Furthermore, a new content offering, the USA TODAY Network I Reuters bundle, became available in the first quarter of 2025.

• Print subscription revenue (including bundles) for the full year 2021 was over $1.1 billion.
• 53% of full-access subscribers have activated their digital account.
• The USA TODAY Network I Reuters bundle launched in Q1 2025.

Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) is moving beyond its core local and national news publishing to establish entirely new revenue streams. This is the Diversification quadrant, and for Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI), it's heavily focused on monetizing its existing content and audience data in new B2B and digital service contexts.

Monetize the new AI content licensing deals with Perplexity and Microsoft as a new B2B revenue stream. Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) announced a deal with AI-powered search engine Perplexity, allowing it to license Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI)'s content. Furthermore, in the third quarter of 2025, Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) announced its newest AI licensing agreement, partnering with Microsoft for its upcoming launch of its Publisher Content Marketplace. These partnerships are structured to ensure publishers are fairly compensated for their content, establishing new monetization avenues.

Scale the new bundled content offering with Reuters to other media companies, selling content as a service. Reuters and Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) announced an agreement in January 2025 to provide media brands and publishers with a unique offering. This bundle combines Reuters' extensive national and international coverage with Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI)'s USA TODAY Network coverage of local news from more than 200 publications across the country. The content is delivered through the Reuters API and Reuters Connect platform, aiming to be a cost-effective solution for other media companies.

Invest in adjacent digital service lines, like event ticketing or e-commerce platforms, leveraging local news traffic. While specific data on event ticketing or e-commerce platforms isn't public, the growth of the Digital Marketing Solutions (DMS) segment shows a clear push into adjacent services. The company is clearly focused on audience monetization as a key driver for 2025 growth. The composition of digital revenue illustrates this diversification effort:

Revenue Stream Component	Amount / Percentage (Latest Reported)	Period
Total Digital Revenues	$262.7 million	Q3 2025
Digital Revenues as % of Total Revenues	46.9%	Q3 2025
Digital Marketing Solutions Core Platform Revenue	$114.0 million	Q3 2025
Digital-Only Subscription Revenues	$43.7 million	Q3 2025
Digital Advertising Revenues	$87.2 million	Q3 2025
Digital-Only ARPU (Average Revenue Per User)	$8.80	Latest High

Create a defintely separate, national-scale data and analytics consulting service based on audience insights. While a standalone consulting service isn't explicitly detailed with its own revenue figures, the Digital Marketing Solutions (DMS) segment represents the existing monetization of audience and business insights for local businesses. The core platform revenue for this segment was $114.0 million in the third quarter of 2025. The company is also leveraging AI-driven automation across workflows, which is expected to unlock operational efficiency.

Acquire a non-news, high-growth digital media property (e.g., a niche finance or cooking site) for new revenue. The most recent public transaction related to portfolio adjustment was a divestiture, not an acquisition. Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) entered into an asset purchase agreement with Hearst to divest the Austin American-Statesman in the first quarter of 2025. This move was described as a strategic decision to position Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) for future growth.

The overall digital strategy shows clear progress toward a new revenue mix:

• Digital revenues are expected to surpass 50% of total revenues during 2026.
• Total debt fell below $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2025.
• The company is executing a $100 million cost reduction program.
• Digital advertising revenues increased 2.9% year-over-year in Q3 2025.
