NEW YORK, July 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Wall Street Journal is expanding its professional content offering under WSJ Pro with the launch of Strategic Intelligence, a groundbreaking premium service designed to support the decisions and workflows of business executives focused on international growth.
Developed with DuckerFrontier, a leading provider of global market intelligence, the service combines a unique mix of The Wall Street Journal’s international coverage with DuckerFrontier’s analysis of market dynamics and economic and regulatory conditions, in addition to its analytical tools and customizable technology. This combination creates a complete business planning and market monitoring solution for senior strategy, finance and business executives responsible for their firms’ international strategy.
“Our collaboration with DuckerFrontier enables us to embed our journalism into the decision-making conversations of business professionals, at a time of growing uncertainty and complexity in international markets,” said Will Wilkinson, General Manager of WSJ Pro. “This presents an exciting opportunity to help decision-makers track developments in volatile markets, backed by credible data. It also enables WSJ Pro to expand its services to corporate audiences, right before their strategic planning season begins.”
According to Richard Leggett, Chief Executive Officer of DuckerFrontier, the Strategic Intelligence product has the potential to disrupt the broader market intelligence industry: “For too long, market intelligence and corporate strategy professionals have had to rely on multiple research and data subscriptions to assemble meaningful global insights to inform their decisions. Strategic Intelligence is purpose-built to enable global business professionals to separate signal from noise, access the right information at the right time to power their workflow, and inform strategic initiatives—all at a price point that makes sense for today’s market intelligence budgets.”
To complement the service, WSJ Pro is launching Emerging & Growth Markets, a weekly newsletter to be compiled by WSJ’s frontier markets editor, Dan Keeler. The newsletter, set to launch this Saturday, July 20, 2019, will provide a snapshot of key strategic issues, with a particular emphasis on emerging and frontier markets.
Strategic Intelligence is available from today, July 17, 2019.
