39% of OTT viewers access services based on specific content available.

Searching for, discovering, and trialing video content are activities common to many of today’s OTT consumers. When asked about their main OTT habits, fifty percent of viewers rank browsing content offered on their online video services within their top three, and over one-fifth do so first.

With OTT demand at an all-time high, services are continually looking to differentiate their offerings with a broad range of original and exclusive content. However, in today’s ultra-competitive and churn-prone OTT market, this content-is-king approach to winning over subscribers is no longer sufficient. Services need to go beyond simply possessing an attractive content library—retaining new subscribers after they finish watching marquee content is an important challenge. Keeping subscribers engaged with content they want to watch – or more precisely, maximizing the speed and accuracy at which they can find relevant, personalized content – is key to subscriber satisfaction, churn reduction, and long-term retention.

The most successful players are finding ways to offer a premium, personalized user experience, allowing subscribers to find and access relevant content based on their habits and preferences. A perceptive and intelligent content discovery strategy has become a key differentiation factor in attracting new subscribers and keeping users engaged.

In this webinar, industry speakers discuss the top factors that influence content discovery for streaming, including the role of social interaction in the online video content access journey.

Topics

  • Consumer search and discovery habits and attitudes during COVID-19 crisis
  • Navigation and personalization as retention tools
  • Use of AI, voice, and other IoT features in content discovery strategies
  • New revenue opportunities in multi-tiered price points and hybrid distribution models
  • Multiplatform video viewing habits and new business models
