How Digitalio.ro uses Pinpoint to track business trends

The Challenge: The "Owner-Editor" Split Andrei Nistor wears two hats: he is a journalist for Stirile Transilvaniei but also a business owner for Digitalio.ro. For a media entrepreneur, the challenge isn't just breaking news; it's keeping the business alive. He needs to track market trends, advertising rates, and tech developments to keep his agency competitive.

• Information Overload: Business intelligence comes in heavy formats—quarterly PDF reports from tech giants, long webinar transcripts, and competitor rate cards.

• Context Switching: Shifting from "Editor mode" (stories) to "CEO mode" (strategy) is difficult when you have to hunt for data.

• Missed Signals: Critical changes in digital marketing laws or algorithms are often buried in footnote 40 of a 100-page industry report.

The Solution: Pinpoint as the "Business Intelligence Hub" Andrei can use Pinpoint to build a dedicated "CEO Dashboard." Unlike a standard news archive, this collection focuses strictly on the business of media.

The Workflow:

• The Input: He uploads the annual "Digital News Report," IAB advertising standards, and local Romanian market analysis PDFs into a specific "Digitalio Strategy" collection.

• The Query: When planning Q3 services, he searches: "What are the projected growth rates for mobile video ads in Eastern Europe?"

• The Extraction: Pinpoint pulls the exact data tables from three different reports, allowing him to benchmark his own pricing against the market.

The Outcome: Data-Driven Decisions This turns Pinpoint into a business advantage. Instead of guessing where the market is going, Digitalio.ro makes decisions based on a synthesized view of the best available data.

• Efficiency: He gets "Consultant-level" insights without paying for a consultant.

• Confidence: Every business pivot is backed by cited industry data.
