Case Study: Increased traffic and reduced bounce rate
Norstedts is Sweden's oldest publishing house. The publishing house has published 29 Nobel Prize winners and is the publisher of Mario Vargas Llosa, Stieg Larsson, J.R.R. Tolkien, and many more.
Norstedts sought to enhance their digital presence by focusing on showcasing their authors and books online to drive discovery and sales. They needed an easily updatable website to keep content fresh and improve their social and digital media strategies. Recognizing the need for specialized expertise, they consulted Cloudflight (formerly Divante) because of their eCommerce and technical proficiency.
