For years, we’ve been quietly building the Optimism family of inbox brands and newsletters. Today, our platform—across more than 20 titles—sends over one billion emails to our trusted readers every month. In the fast-paced inbox-first media landscape, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest obsession with growth or metrics. But our success can be traced back to five principles that we’ve committed to since the beginning: • Audience first: Everything starts with understanding your audience. The best newsletters speak to someone, and we obsess about reaching and resonating with our audience. • Flight to quality: High-quality, resonant editorial will always win. The internet has created infinite amounts of content. The frontier has always been quality, not quantity. • Consistency compounds trust: Consistently high-quality experiences compounds trust with your audience over time. We’re not in a rush to juice growth. We know that the best brands are built on trust. • Growth is not a strategy: Growth is a tactic, not a strategy. The inbox businesses that outperform the rest are uniquely positioned and differentiated first, and then leverage that strategic insight to grow. • Build optimism in the inbox: Email has strayed from its origins as a way to connect the world. We’re focused on returning education, entertainment, and inspiration to the inbox to ensure our users keep loving their in email experience. Want to experience Optimism in your inbox – here are a few places to start: Nice News (nicenews.com), History Facts (historyfacts.com), Word Daily (worddaily.com), or our newly launching Super Age (superage.com)!
