19. What Our Clients Are Saying
“Toura is a great partner for publishers. The platform requires no
developer knowledge and is simple enough to train creative staff
in less than an hour. Even sales reps can build an app - it’s so
simple. Toura is the perfect tool to allow marketing and sales
teams to: try new ideas, support advertisers custom needs and
experiment with new ideas – at a fraction of custom-shop costs.”
Maggie Louie, Mobile Revenue Manager, LA Times
“At the start of the year I built a mobile team from scratch. The
problem is that it is time intensive and costs a lot [to make an
app]. It’s very difficult to get to scale in a sensible way.”
Alex Watson, Head of App Development, Dennis Publishing
