Archant selects Lineup for self service ad platform

Lineup Systems Limited, the international provider of advertising management and CRM solutions to the media industry, has been appointed by the Archant group, the UK's largest independently-owned regional publisher, to provide a self service advertising portal.

The service will allow private and trade advertisers to follow a streamlined workflow to rapidly build, preview, schedule and securely pay for an advertisement across web and print titles within the Archant group.

The portal will initially be available in the Greater London region, before rolling out across all of the publisher’s entire estate. Archant’s publications include over 60 weekly regional newspaper titles, 180 websites and 80 magazines, including monthly county Life glossies.

Michael Mendoza, CEO Lineup Systems comments: “We are delighted that Archant have selected us to deliver their self-service advertising portal. One of the key drivers for the project is usability and we have extensively analysed the design, user behaviour and qualitative user experience. It's an exciting project and we look forward to our partnership.”
