文章特色图片

The emergence of streaming has had a transformative effect on the media 和 娱乐 sector. Streaming service providers are now producing 和 making available more content than ever before, 而传统电视提供商也在他们的频道包中增加流媒体服务,以保持竞争力. But as the market matures, global br和s are using M&A as a not-so-secret way to remain competitive, giving rise to new monetization models 和 measurement tactics. OTT和FAST市场已经经历了业务和技术整合的沉重时期.

这里只强调几个: 狐狸 acquired ad-supported streaming platform Tubi for $440 million to bring more than 20,000 movies 和 shows to the platform; AT&T发现 completed a $43 billion merger to create the mega-media conglomerate 华纳兄弟探索频道; 和 Viacom acquired 冥王星的电视’s FAST streaming service for $340 million to attract a younger audience 和 monetize old content. 这些交易是为了利用直接接触数百万习惯于消费更便宜、更容易获取的内容的观众的机会, as well as creating new value for users via smart TV platforms 和 mobile apps. 然而, 这个市场整合的时代正在推动与新用户接触并探索留住他们的新方法的机会.  

集成FAST通道

FAST频道的流行为新的发展和卓越的流媒体体验铺平了道路. 视频服务提供商希望吸引更多消费者并将其内容货币化,他们将FAST频道视为增强直接面向消费者的数字覆盖和参与度的有力途径. 根据 OMDIA 研究, 截至2023年, households in the US alone had access to over 1,500个FAST通道, predicting global revenues to hit US$13 billion by 2028. 然而,, 到今天为止, global FAST revenues sit at around US$6 billion, 因此,运营商需要采用创新的盈利策略,才能真正利用这种模式所提供的潜力. 一种有效的方法是将FAST整合到一个更统一的产品中,利用大型合并品牌的优势. This encompasses access to additional content, existing subscriber relationships, 和, 最重要的是, 用户数据. 有关消费者习惯的数据对于定制FAST频道阵容和内容以及实现支撑该模式的定向广告至关重要. 对于维亚康姆这样的品牌来说, with diverse interests from radio to 当地电视台 stations across the US, 拥有最大的FAST频道提供了以令人兴奋的新方式聚合内容和吸引受众的机会.

Taking advantage of hyper-personalization

To truly capitalize on this vertical integration 和 consolidation, 然而, OTT 和 FAST players should adopt another crucial strategy: hyper-personalization. Al虽然 Pluto is often credited as the poster child for FAST, 一些人认为,TikTok, with its continual stream of hyper-personalized content, is a better representation of what FAST, whendone好, can deliver in terms of audience. TikTok 除以1.677 billion users globally, of which 1.1 billion are its monthly active users 截至2023年. 根据 the latest data from WARC, TikTok’s ad revenues are set to hit $13.2 billion in 2023, a 33% increase from the previous year. Al虽然 an inexact comparison to FAST, 它的超个性化模式凸显了算法和数据驱动流媒体内容的潜力,可以为FAST带来真正的价值,并成为一个关键的差异化因素. 例如, 一个以体育为主题的快速频道,根据订户的喜好提供个性化的节目,并根据人口统计或地区推荐内容,这可能是一个令人兴奋的前景. 流媒体运营商可以通过了解特定的用户需求来开拓新的客户领域,并通过获取和保留客户来实现可扩展性.

Prioritizing active engagement

运营商寻求整合服务的另一个策略是积极参与. That means adopting some of the strategies traditional pay TV operators have embraced to convert, 保留, 和 keep viewers fixed on their services. 了解如何通过智能设备应用跟踪消费并与订阅者互动是了解用户行为的有力工具. 当一个符合观众需求的新节目或频道被添加到FAST服务中时,自动系统会通知观众,这是一种简单但有效的推动互动的机制. 另一种方法是根据兴趣群体在相关社交媒体上嵌入FAST频道的链接. 这有可能吸引和增加受众的价值,尤其是以数字媒体为中心的年轻受众,因为这仍然是一个未被充分利用的模式,有很大的增长潜力.

Tapping into intelligent real-time data insights

未来的市场整合将使OTT和FAST的玩家在观众提供的所有丰富数据方面占据领先地位. Consider 狐狸's content portfolio, 包括体育运动, 新闻, 娱乐, 当地电视台, 以及TUBI FAST服务. 设计一个快速的渠道阵容,以补充和潜在交叉销售其其他商业利益是一个可行的选择,解锁新的用户数据和盈利选择. Platforms like these can tap into real-time, 用户生成的分析,并提供新的方法来衡量和系统地管理整个生态系统的用户. The right solution can leverage more 用户数据, such as viewing habits 和 platform transactions, to better predict behavior, improve platform performance, 和 enhance the customer experience.

值得注意的是, 虽然, that much of the FAST consolidation hype is still focused on North America, which accounts for 90% of revenues. 公司最终将在国际上冒险,以达到他们预计的130亿美元的全球影响力. 这是智能参与能够适应本地内容和个性化条件的最后一个领域. It’s also where outreach will be vital. 运营商现在可以开始为盈利奠定基础,为未来的全球整合做好准备.
