How can Data Intelligence help you?

With the decline in television as a viewing platform and the rise of mobile streaming platforms, content providers need to make dramatic changes to stay in the game, and this is where big data comes in. Many major players have been embracing Big data, and for a good reason. Let’s take a look at a few stories.

The example of Netflix’s House Of Cards

Netflix has made very intelligent use of big data for content delivery on their platform. They analyze their subscriber behaviour routinely to gain an understanding of their preferences and affinities. The insights were fascinating – they didn’t just find out that many of their subscribers liked Kevin Spacey (lead actor in House of Cards), but they also knew who exactly these people were and they used this data to directly target those fans by creating nine separate trailers of House of Cards, targeting these towards those users only. In short, with detailed customer data, they were able to create a better marketing strategy for managing the content (House of Cards) on their platform.

Several other companies in the media industry like Spotify, and Amazon Prime are leveraging big data for analysing content and users to offer the consumers targeted choices instantly.
