Publet turns offline files into online content that delivers more leads, sales, and customer traffic. Sales and marketing teams can build interactive content that works like a webpage (not a PDF) allowing them to:
Publet is currently serving the B2B conent needs of customers like Dell, Ogilvy, Orange Telecom, and The Economist Intelligence Unit.
Billions of dollars are spent each year to make high value B2B content that delivers research, leads and sales. In its current form, typically a PDF, this content is wasted as it does not perform well on mobile devices, social media, SEO, tracking, or optimization.
Sales and marketing teams need a way to easily produce digital content designed for the modern web at scale, and extract data from the content to improve marketing and sales.
Introducing Publet
Publet enables non-technical teams to distribute and track interactive B2B content(sales, marketing, and research materials) as HTML5 — without hiring developers. During our private beta, Publet has been multiplying our companies’ audience reach, engaged time, and number of leads/conversions by as much as 200%. You can see a sample of a comissioned ebook for NetApp by The Economist Group.
Four Steps to B2B Success
Publet generates HTML5 content, either via our online editor which allows you to input text, images, videos, etc., or converted from your current hard copies or PDFs. These interactive materials act like webpages and can be standalone or integrate with your existing site —optimized for search, social media, mobile, and tracking.
Content from your report can be parsed, extracted and sent out through any chosen social channel with trackable links on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Google.
Data on individual leads, audience behavior, and content performance is collected and sent to Salesforce, Marketo, or other marketing automation software to integrate into your current marketing stack. You can see which content is performing best, who’s reading it, where they’re coming from, how they discovered it, on what device they’re consuming it, and then you can decide what and who to focus on.
Our analytics identify high-performing content and distribution channels, and show what drives sales. You can even track where readers are losing attention down to the sentence, not just pages.
With Publet, you can embrace Mobilegeddon with open arms, drive sales, learn more about your audience, and start producing content for the modern age.
We help B2B clients multiply their audience reach, engagement time, and number of leads by as much as 200%. This drastically reduces upfront costs and increases your ROI.

Our founding team of engineers, marketers and journalists launched Publet in 2014 with a simple question in mind: “How could we enable anyone to create the most powerful long-form content on the web without teams of coders or designers?”
We transitioned from the CNN and Scientific American newsrooms to create a product that would help marketers, researchers, and media teams create powerful B2B content from ebooks to research reports.
