Client Background
The Voice of Teachers (“Głos Nauczycielski”) is a well-established Polish educational magazine, providing news, insights, and professional resources for teachers nationwide. Prior to partnering with PressPad, their digital presence was fragmented: the existing e-kiosk platform was nearing closure, and they lacked cohesive mobile solutions to engage readers on-the-go. With the transition of the e-kiosk owner at the end of 2024, the magazine urgently needed a reliable, integrated digital platform to maintain continuity for their audience.
Challenges
- Platform Transition: The incumbent e-kiosk provider was closing operations, threatening a disruption in digital distribution.
- Tight Deadlines: Implementation had to be completed rapidly to ensure uninterrupted service.
- Multi-Channel Engagement: The magazine required both a digital storefront for paid content and mobile apps to reach readers with news updates from their blog.
- Seamless User Experience: Readers expected easy access to content across web and mobile without friction or downtime.
- Data Migration: Existing PDF archives and user accounts needed to be securely migrated to the new platform.
Solution with PressPad
PressPad delivered a comprehensive digital transformation, including:
- Dedicated E-Kiosk: Launch of a fully branded digital kiosk at glos.presspad.store to host subscriptions, single-issue sales, and archived editions, with full migration of historical PDF content.
- Custom Website Integration: Development of a dedicated website (e.glos.pl) serving as a portal for content discovery, subscriptions, and marketing campaigns.
- Mobile News Apps: Two native mobile applications delivering blog content dynamically, pulling updates via WordPress API and RSS feeds, fully integrated with the e-kiosk to create a seamless reader experience.

Results
