Use cases
Rights holder
As a rights holder, you have an extremely limited view of the exhibition of your works on on-demand services. When it comes to cinema and television, you know precisely the time and place at which your title is being shown but on Netflix, Prime Video and others, you don't even know if it is really suggested to users and if so, to whom. We can help you get access to that information.
Studio
Without visibility data, you know far less about your content’s worth than the VOD service you're selling it to, putting you at a disadvantage during negotiations. You need to know how content prominence works on that service if you want to avoid underestimating the value of what you're selling.
Content strategist
Find out what titles are the most prominent on a given service, for all users or a specific niche. Go beyond catalogue data and incomplete viewership metrics to uncover what truly powers content performance on streaming.
Collective management organisation
Provide creatives with the information they so desperately need. Authors are frustrated by a widespread lack of transparency when it comes to video-on-demand. With visibility data, they can finally know to what degree their work is being shown to users, if at all...
