Let’s revisit some
mantras of the industry…
3 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
“Newspaper classifieds
are DEAD”
4 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
“You’re SAFE
once you’re at least
FIVE TIMES BIGGER
than your closest competitor”
5 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
”A popular
classified site is a
MONEY MAKING MACHINE”
6 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
What do these statements
have in common?
7 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
THEY ARE
NOT TRUE!
(or only partly)
And now I'll prove it...
But first…

14 | ICMA - Disruptors | Katja Riefler © 2015
‘Newspaper
classifieds
are dead’
15 | ICMA - Disruptors | Katja Riefler © 2015
Why aren’t there more of them?
16 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
NEXT Phase
Publishers most often fail to realize growth

The “Innovators Dilemma”
today hits the digital pioneers
from 15 years ago…
Outdated, hard to change technology
Inflexible structures
Untimely business models
(that earn so much money…)
Defensive culture (fear of
loosing existing income sources)
Convinced of the superb quality
of their own approach
(focus on existing customer groups)
20 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
Innovation ≠ Invention
Innovation
=
Combination of
existing
knowledge in a
new way that
resonates with
customers
21 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
22 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
Disruption =
product or service
that is 10 times
cheaper and
10 times
more effectiv
than the predecessor
Innovation ≠ Disruption
23 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
Starting and succeeding
today is much harder
The business of classifieds:
 Automotive ads and listings
 Real estate ads and listings
 Recruitment ads and listings
 “Stuff” ads…
... but also ...
 Social / professional networking
 Directories / service guides
 ... maybe even e-commerce!
24 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
The business of classifieds:
 Mobility
 Housing and accommodation
 Work and career
 Lifestyle …
AND – big question:
 Is there a future for something
that was used to be called
advertising?

Gamificators?
39 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
Culture shift?
40 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
FINALLY, WHAT CAN YOU DO?
41 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
Must do for classified publishers today
Think beyond YOUR borders
Find out who‘s problem you
are solving
Gain critical mass
Chose whom to work with
42 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
Task: Connect all nine dots with only 4 lines
without crossing any dot twice
43 | ICMA - Disruptors| Katja Riefler © 2015
You can do
ANYTHING
You can’t do
EVERYTHING
You have to do
SOMETHING
