StreamTV Show | 3 Key Takeaways
I recently attended the StreamTV Show, a conference focused on next-gen video programming distribution. The streaming TV industry is rapidly evolving, presenting numerous opportunities and challenges, so while it's an exciting field to work in, there’s also a lot to keep up with.
Opportunities include the rise of Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST), advanced targeted advertising techniques, and the integration of AI/ML models for customer retention and engagement.
Challenges such as the need for industry-wide standards, effective data utilization, and consistent contextual targeting, however, must be addressed to fully leverage the potential of streaming services.
The show gave me the chance to engage with key industry leaders and changemakers who share a vision for growth and have a genuine passion for advancing the industry collectively. The conference was a melting pot of ideas, innovations, and strategies aimed at shaping the future of streaming.
While a lot was said and discussed at the conference a few themes stood out. Here are the three key takeaways from the event:
- Standardization of Key Metrics: One of the most pressing needs identified at the conference was the standardization of methodologies for data measurement. The industry is rapidly evolving, and with the introduction of new ad formats and technologies, having a unified set of standards is crucial. This will help streamline operations, reduce complexities, and ensure that all stakeholders can effectively collaborate and innovate.
- Gleaning Actionable Insights: Data continues to be a cornerstone of the streaming industry. The ability to combine first-party data with third-party data to create effective ad strategies was a recurring theme throughout the conference. However, content rights often limit what can be shared with advertisers, making it essential to navigate these limitations carefully. Effective data utilization can unlock new opportunities for targeted advertising and personalized viewer experiences.
- Integration of AI/ML: Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the way we approach streaming. From AI-generated metadata that describes emotions to advanced AI/ML models for customer retention, the potential applications are vast. AI can enhance targeting, improve user experiences, and provide valuable insights into viewer behavior. The integration of AI technologies is set to play a pivotal role in the future of streaming.
In summary, the StreamTV Show was a valuable experience, providing strategic insights into the current trends and future directions of the streaming industry. By focusing on standardization, effective data utilization, and the integration of AI, the industry can continue to grow and innovate, benefiting all stakeholders involved.
