Solving your challenges
Customizing and personalizing experiences for every viewer
Viewers will no longer put up with impersonal online experiences. You need a way to build individual viewer personas that capture viewing history, account profile details and other valuable data. You also need to offer a more engaging, personalized experience for every viewer.
Optimizing your online revenue streams
Using the traditional TV advertising rule book just doesn’t work in OTT. In order to attract high-value advertisers, you need to know who your audience is and how to reach them. You need to be able to match the right viewers with the right ad, and ensure that ads are presented in TV-like quality and measured.
Having the insights to deliver value to your viewers
You need insights into how and what your viewers are watching online. Otherwise you’re flying blind and applying a one-size-fits all approach to every viewer. You need straightforward analytics and reporting to help you decide what content and ads will appeal to your viewers.
