The move to Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) services is one of the hottest topics impacting the media industry today. These services require far different research, data and analytic support than are typically required for media companies. Research now informs product design and product optimization, customer acquisition, programming optimization and retention measurement.

This session will feature leading researchers from existing and soon-to-launch D2C services, as they describe their research focus and key learnings. Panelists include:

• Mike Bloxham, SVP, Global Media & Entertainment, Magid
• Howard Shimmel, President, Janus Strategy and Insights (Moderator)
• Julie DeTraglia, VP and Head of Research & Insights, Hulu
• Colleen Fahey Rush, EVP of Insights & Audience Science and Chief Research Officer, Viacom Media Networks
• Natasha Hritzuk, VP of Consumer Insights, WarnerMedia
