OUR PURPOSE
Making Memorable Media Experiences Happen
Media companies need possibilities to create differentiating experiences and engage with their viewers. Doing so on a massive scale and towards a micro-segmented audience has become daunting. Therefore, we optimize the end-to-end content supply chain & value chain to such an extent that media companies can focus on their creativity. This is the foundation for them to make the most profound connection with consumers and deliver memorable media experiences with content available anytime, anywhere on any device.
OUR PROMISE
We make your life easier
We make it easier for you to bring the right content at the right time to the right audience through the right channels
- by intelligently matching content supply and demand at both the strategic and the planning level;
- by orchestrating and hiding the complexity of the underlying media supply chain at the execution level.
We base ourselves on 4 fundamental principles:
- We enable you to operate a smarter and smoother content supply chain, ultimately facilitating touchless operations.
- We orchestrate the end-to-end content supply chain through connected workflows.
- We connect content, rights and data in an ecosystem.
- Through co-creation and based on our configurable offering, we provide a pluggable partner ecosystem that ensures end-to-end visibility across company boundaries.
As a result, you will be able to maximize Content ROI by raising revenues through more engaged audiences and lowering operating costs.
