Welcome to my new CMS world!

Dear {name},

Long time no see. I guess you would remember some of the programs I led at Google (DNI Fund, Google News Initiative Innovation Challenges, Journalism Emergency Relief Fund etc) as we’ve been in touch through those in one way or another. I’m taking the liberty to be in touch not just to wish you a happy new year, which I genuinely do, but to also tell you about my new activity in the CMS world. For years, I heard publishers being frustrated with their tech stack or complaining about an environment that didn’t help them to focus on what matters the most: their journalism and the way to distribute and monetize it. So as part of my new activities outside of Google, I became a partner of a company called WhiteBeard that is tackling the CMS challenge in a way I found impressive enough to make me want to share more about.

A very feature-complete CMS offering a "one-stop shop" for publishers

WhiteBeard News Suite is an all-in-one tech stack: omnichannel publishing, AI editing, blended data dashboards, monetization, integrated CRM etc. It has recently been recognized among leading CMS Worldwide by the Google News Initiative and the International News Media Association (INMA). Through a dedicated review, they recognized WhiteBeard News Suite’s maturity and its great fit for “mid-sized news organizations, especially those with only minimal technical resources”. You can find the report on Google’s website.

Looking at the benchmark, you’ll discover a very complete solution stack for writers, editors and community managers - whatever their level. But what makes the difference is our affordable solution which covers all of a publisher’s needs, our complete inventory of monetization solutions, and our off-shore powerful development team.

I thought you might be interested to hear more about our company based in Amsterdam and Beirut and about our offer. If you want more information or you just want to connect to say hello, please be in touch.
