CTAM Europe webinar discussion with Simon Murray, Principal Analyst, Digital TV Research.

The global OTT arena is changing once again. There is now much more caution in the market, with several platforms cutting back or at least delaying their global rollout. Many platforms are also lowering their content spend. Consolidation and partnerships are the key drivers as profitability becomes the most important metric – replacing subscriber growth. Meanwhile, Netflix, without the distraction of other revenue streams, continues its global growth.

CTAM Europe and Paramount joint webinar titled “Free, Easy, FAST: Exploring the Rapid Growth of Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television”
Presented by: Christian Kurz, SVP, Global Streaming Research and Insights @Paramount
Wednesday 10th May 2023.

FAST services are rapidly growing in popularity around the world. Paramount’s new global study explored the reasons why viewers are embracing FAST platforms, what makes FAST unique, and how users feel about advertising on FAST services.

Spanning both quantitative and qualitative research, more than 5,000 consumers ages 18-64 were surveyed and interviewed across eight markets, including Brazil, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the US.

It turned out that FAST services are growing rapidly for a few key reasons — they’re simple to use and take the stress out of deciding what to watch, they give users a sense of uplift throughout the day, and they provide an opportunity to explore from the comfort of home. Ultimately, they address viewers’ needs in a unique way that complements other services.

Christian will discuss the key findings from this study in this fascinating webinar.

CTAM Europe and Ampere Analysis joint webinar titled “The evolution of cross-media franchises and IP”.  
Presented by: Max Signorelli, Analyst, OMDIA.
Wednesday 22nd February 2023.

Omdia analyst Max Signorelli explores how consumer demand is impacting advertising opportunities for streamers and how service providers can stay ahead of the game.

In the US, hybrid video propositions are nothing new and have secured their position as a core market offering through the likes of Hulu and, more recently, House Of The Dragon streamer HBO Max. Outside the US, however, the business model will feel relatively new with few parallels in the OTT space.

Emma Chiu, Global Director, Wunderman Thompson Intelligence

Andreas Gregoras, International Creative Strategist, Wunderman Thompson Benelux

Wednesday 14th December 2022

What has happened in the metaverse over the last year? A lot, it turns out. Since Wunderman Thompson first released their “Into the Metaverse” report in September 2021, excitement around and activity in the metaverse has exploded: collections of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have flooded the marketplace, branded virtual worlds have taken over games, and investment in technologies such as mixed, augmented and virtual realities has ramped up significantly.

But, in the midst of this storm of activity, it can be hard to parse what is a flash in the pan of a passing fad and what has meaningful staying power. This micro-report breaks down how the metaverse is restructuring eight industries, with original data collected by Wunderman Thompson Data, brand case studies, actionable takeaways and category-specific insights to help brands navigate the future of the metaverse.

CTAM Europe & CommScope webinar
Wednesday 18th June 2022
Low-latency services – the opportunity for broadband service providers.
Ian Wheelock, Engineering Fellow, Home Networks, CommScope

Until now, speed has been the feature which consumers look for when purchasing home broadband. As access network speeds have increased other aspects of the broadband service have come to the fore, such as Wi-Fi quality, which is now the dominating factor in the consumer broadband experience.
Latency, the time it takes to send and receive data packets, and jitter, the variation in latency, may sound technical but they impact the consumer experience in applications such as online gaming, AR/VR, video calling and even voice quality. That extra delay could make the difference between staying in the game or lying in the dirt.

Service providers have a great opportunity to target gamers and business users with low-latency service tiers, and enhance consumer satisfaction with video conferencing/calling and other delay sensitive applications.

Access networks and the home network are evolving to deliver such low-latency/low-jitter services, and that means delivering low latency all the way to the Wi-Fi connected device. Bringing together technologies such as low-latency DOCSIS and XGS-PON with Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz Wi-Fi), and managing the overall experience.

In this presentation, Ian will discuss the opportunity for low-latency services and the technology to deliver end-to-end. The presentation covers the following topics:
• What is low-latency and jitter?
• What’s the opportunity for service providers?
• Overview of technology solutions including Low-Latency DOCSIS (LLD) and Wi-Fi.

Did you watch? The Power of Talking about TB
Wednesday 19th January 2022
Anna Noel Taylor, VP Glogal Streaming Insights.

What happens when people can’t talk about TV? In this study, ViacomCBS challenged consumers aged 16-49 in Italy, the UK, USA, Mexico, South Africa, Indonesia and Australia to go about their lives for two weeks without engaging in any conversations about TV in any of its forms (including streaming).

What became clear was the extent to which television is embedded in daily life and delivers value beyond mere entertainment. Talking about TV takes the rewards of watching TV, enhances them, and elevates these benefits to a new level – leaving people feeling more joyful, expansive, grounded, and connected. As the appetite for content grows, this is a timely look at the very human dynamics that help to inform the future health of the television industry.

Omdia Senior Analysts Matthew Bailey and Max Signorelli will have a 30 minute discussion, with key slides, on the hot topics of aggregation and addressable advertising, identifying the opportunities that they present to pay-TV operators.
The shift to OTT video content and services, coupled with the continued migration of advertising spend from traditional to online channels, is having a profound impact on the Pay-TV sector. However, the proliferation of Internet-enabled services and devices also represent a key opportunity for Pay-TV operators to diversify and bolster their core businesses by aggregating OTT services and delivering more valuable addressable TV advertising.
This collab presentation will combine Matthew’s expertise in digital and TV advertising with Max’s knowledge of the traditional TV space to bridge the narratives of telco partnerships and super-aggregation with TV broadcasters’ and operators’ moves to win ad spend back from, and compete with the digital giants.

The Meaning of Home: A Sense of Belonging.
Christian Kurz. Senior Vice President, Global Consumer Insights, ViacomCBS
Wednesday 17th March 2021

Home. At first glance, it’s four walls and a roof over our heads – where we sleep, wake up, eat and relax. It’s a source of pride and comfort. It’s where we hang our hat.

But when you think about it, home is a lot more than a physical space. To be truly ‘at home’ is a feeling, an emotion – something we can take with us. In fact, there are a whole range of places where people feel at home.

Direct-to-Consumer: Going Global
Max Signorelli, Research Analyst, Omdia
Wednesday 3rd March 2021
Over the course of 2020, new age online video direct-to-consumer services from major studios and content producers have been planting their roots in the world’s most valuable entertainment market, the USA. Future international growth however will derive from hundreds of fragmented and unique markets, each with their own challenges for content owners that traditionally licence titles to local services. With or without their historical partners, content owners will have to prove their worth amidst a swarm of video services both paid and free to maximise their revenues in the age of OTT. But how will they stack up against the likes of Netflix and Amazon as well as other local initiatives and proprietary services, all of which have a several year head start?

New Opportunities in a post Covid-19 world. 

Sylvie Verbruggen, VP Connectivity CVP Marketing & Consumer Insight, Liberty Global 

Wednesday 27th January 2021

The Coronavirus pandemic will be remembered as a world re-ordering event – both for those directly impacted by a personal tragedy and those forced to stay at home for several months on end.

Separated from loved ones, unable to eat out or travel, home-schooling their children, working from home or not able to work at all, people across the world found refuge online, creating virtual solutions to replace everyday interactions. The home has become the school, the office, the yoga studio and the entertainment hub, with broadband becoming the backbone to this new way of living.

As an essential provider of connectivity, Liberty Global played a vital role in alleviating loneliness by keeping people connected, helping businesses run smoothly and enabling key services such as hospitals and supermarkets to operate around the clock in challenging circumstances. Connections were always important, but this global pandemic has shown how they are now more critical than ever.

Join Sylvie for a webinar/discussion on the new Opportunities in a Post Covid-19 World.

Super Aggregators – “The Future of Pay TV?

Jack Davison, EVP, 3Vision

Wednesday 13th January 2021

Join us as we look at what the future might hold for the video aggregators in the world today.

In an increasingly fragmented market with a new competitive landscape, increasing subscriber acquisition costs and challenges getting heard, there is a clear consumer and operator need for simple aggregated solutions.

Multiple stakeholders with different approaches and objectives are playing an aggregator role today and as the relationships between OTT SVOD services and distribution platforms continues to change, what will it mean for all the players?

The large number of video services both from within the traditional TV ecosystem and from the OTT market has all served to hugely increase the volumes of content available and fragment the market further – driving the need for a new aggregation approach.

We take a close look at how Pay TV is Responding.

With SVOD integrations reaching new levels does this suggest that they are best placed to take the role of Super-Aggregator or will other players take this role?

The impact of Streaming and Coronavirus on the film industry.

Carter Pilcher, ShortsTV – In discussion with Lukas Kernell, CTAM Europe Co-Chair & VP Content, Liberty Global

Wednesday 9th December 2020

With the impact of a pandemic that has kept us all at home and the meteoric rise of streaming, the media landscape is seeing dramatic shifts in how and where we choose to consume content. Cinemas across the world remain closed for business, leading some industry analysts to question whether the traditional movie-going experience is now a thing of the past. Yet despite these pressures, big streamers like Netflix have invested in the theatrical space.

Carter Pilcher, member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) and founder of ShortsTV, discusses the impact of streaming and coronavirus on the film industry, from changes to the 2021 OSCARS® ceremony, to changes to qualification routes to the effect on independent movie theatres as he explores early indicators as to the future of movies on the silver screen—both long and short, with CTAM Europe’s Co-Chair and Liberty Global’s VP Content, Lukas Kernell.

What next for video services?

Anthony Zuyderhoff, SVP Home Media Solutions & Pablo Guaglianone, VP Sales, CommScope 
Wednesday 28th October 2020

Consumers have never had so much choice of quality video content and streaming services from new glossy productions and “originals” to studios and broadcasters offering their back-catalogue online and even movies going straight to streaming. As a result, service providers are continuing to feel the effects of cord cutting/shaving as consumers adopt streaming-first for their viewing.

This webinar will look at how service providers are rethinking their video service strategy and the opportunities arising from changing consumer needs, in particular:

– The use of cost-effective streaming devices and engaging user interfaces to enhance broadband services and enable customer engagement.

– The move from content aggregation to service aggregation, with smart assistants and the TV as a canvas for a suite of home services.

Networking in our New Reality

From the New York Times to Harvard Business Review, there have been many reminders of the importance of reaching out to your weak ties during the current crisis. These “weak ties” are not your closest friends, but the people you know at arms’ length. Perhaps you used to know them well or know them only through friends. Connecting with them has always required some effort, but chance social encounters made it easier and more common. Certainly those social opportunities are no longer possible (depending on where you live). The question is, how do you network in the current social context?

Noah gives some basic tips, but also a call to flip networking on its head: changing the perspective of networking from outreach to making yourself more open and available to others.

Masterclass with INSEAD: ‘Optimising and digitising Customer Experience in an agile world’

Since the turn of the twenty-first century, digital has fundamentally changed our lives. Adapting to the ongoing digitisation of the economy, and of society in general, is arguably the most challenging transformation every business is currently facing. But that doesn’t mean that traditional approaches do not apply anymore or that you must reinvent yourself.

For being successful in a digital world it is crucial to understand your key objectives and to identify the means to achieve them.

Organisations need to mirror digital objectives against their core strength and competencies to identify the most important gaps. Then initiatives are identified and their economic value assessed.

In several studies ‘Optimising the digital Customer Experience’ was ranked recently as the top strategic priority by Senior Executives. Successful companies ask themselves what problems they are trying to solve, what stakeholder needs they wish to fulfill, where they stand today, and how digital trends and technologies can address these problems along the customer journey.

In this webinar Joerg discusses how organisations can create exceptional Customer Experience to set themselves apart from their competition.

Premium SVoD and MVPD – Product challenges:

The ties between Premium SVoD services and MVPD platforms are becoming closer, since SVoD services need distribution partners and MVPD platforms need to offer the new consumption model as well. Bernd/Veed Analytics have analysed current approaches from the likes of Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, and also local streaming initiatives. Since the product/device portfolio from MVPD platforms is becoming more fragmented the integration from SVoD services typically differs.

In the webinar Bernd will review the three relevant stages based on examples from the European market:
(1) Service availability: on which devices are the services available and is there any activity from the user required to install an app
(2) Content surfacing: who can users access the content from SVoD services
(3) Commercial bundling: what are typical SVoD bundling approaches.

Joint Webinar with Guy Bisson, Research Director & Co-Founder, Ampere Analysis

30th October 2019. MIPCOM 2019 Round-up with Guy Bisson.

Ampere Analysis’ Research Director, Guy Bisson gives a roundup of this year’s MIPCOM via a webinar for CTAM Europe members.

There was a buzz at this year’s MIPCOM content market as TV execs pushed on with ‘business (almost) as usual’ in the face of the fast-changing market for international sales.

Independent distributors found their diaries unusually packed, with a number of smaller operations reporting to The Amp that they were fully booked with meetings until Thursday evening. The changing role of studio majors and direct-to-consumer plans were, of course, a hot topic at the market, but there was a feeling of a quiet before the storm as global sales execs talked freely of an expected impact on their lives and businesses that had yet to fully materialize.

Ongoing access to content stands tall as the key concern among distribution businesses, but the already well-underway trend of original production is also having an impact; driving down license fees for smaller distributors (as major buyers prioritize production budgets over acquisition) and making the lives of the distribution execs within larger operations more challenging as they struggle to unravel their parent companies’ own plans for directto-consumer launches and holdbacks, and the content that will be left over for international sales.

Joint webinar with Joerg Niessing, Affiliate Professor of Marketing, INSEAD

Tuesday 5th February 2019 @ 16:00 – 16:45 CET. ‘Optimising and digitising Customer Experience in an agile world’

Since the turn of the twenty-first century, digital has fundamentally changed our lives. Adapting to the ongoing digitisation of the economy, and of society in general, is arguably the most challenging transformation every business is currently facing. But that doesn’t mean that traditional approaches do not apply anymore or that you must reinvent yourself.
For being successful in a digital world it is crucial to understand your key objectives and to identify the means to achieve them.

Organisations need to mirror digital objectives against their core strength and competencies to identify the most important gaps. Then initiatives are identified and their economic value assessed.

In several studies ‘Optimising the digital Customer Experience’ was ranked recently as the top strategic priority by Senior Executives. Successful companies ask themselves what problems they are trying to solve, what stakeholder needs they wish to fulfill, where they stand today, and how digital trends and technologies can address these problems along the customer journey. In this webinar we will discuss how organisations can create exceptional Customer Experience to set themselves apart from their competition.

Joint Webinar with INSEAD’s leading faculty member, Joerg Niessing

17th January 2018

Deep dive into the following:

Adapting to the ongoing digitization of the economy, and of society in general, is arguably the most challenging transformation every business is currently facing. Digital technologies have become the core of  almost every industry. But one of the most important ‘laws in business’ has not changed at all: Customer centricity and customer orientation. You can only create value and drive profitable growth if you understand not only what customers ‘need’ but also what customers really ‘want’. However, creating customer value and building long-term relationships is even more challenging in a digital world where customers (a) expect more, (b) are well-informed, (c) trust their peers, (d) have more choices and (e) have a voice.

In today’s ‘Age of the Customer’, digital technologies and customer centricity have to go hand-in-hand: new channels & touchpoints, new devices, diverse data, multi-dimensional customers, new competitors, social networks, new ways of interacting with customers and other stakeholders. Today, every business is, in part, a digital business and successful companies embrace and deploy digitization in the right places at the right time and are up to 30% more profitable than digital beginners. That is why digital transformation should be on every senior executive’s agenda.

Joint Webinar with ARRIS – MVPD-Delivered VR/AR via Broadband and the Future of In-home Health care and Education.

5th December 2017

VR/AR technologies deliver much more than gaming. They can mix entertainment, preventive health care, and long-distance learning in a variety of combinations. Imagine a world where VR/AR is used to:
  • Provide personalized in-home health maintenance such as alleviating symptoms of PTSD or depression, or distracting patients during painful procedures or recuperations
  • Create an immersive remote education experience by placing students in a VR/AR classroom with their professors and peers
  • Allow people who are hindered by health or injuries to shop, visit the beach, or travel the world
  • These applications may be delivered via fiber, wireless/5G, hybrid cloud and content delivery networks (CDN) into the home, via secure gateways and devices. This session will cite recent application examples and discuss the technology and security needed to enable these applications, and how they may also drive architectural changes in network and CDN implementations.
