BEYOND ORIGINALS: Drivers of Audience Growth and Retention in Streaming Video

Natasha Hritzuk, VP, Consumer Insights, WarnerMedia Direct: HBOMax
Interviewer: Mike Bloxham, SVP, Global Media & Entertainment, Magid

Gaining new SVOD subscribers and AVOD users is challenging enough, but in an environment where almost 25% of viewers declare an intent to drop a service after watching a favorite series, user retention is critical – to both the services themselves and, increasingly, to advertisers leveraging AVOD platforms. While original content has proven to be a major factor for both user growth and retention, there are many other factors that impact the decision to retain a service and to keep using it. Features, functions and benefits beyond the content itself are becoming more critical in building user loyalty and habitual use. In this conversation, Natasha Hritzuk of WarnerMedia/HBO Max and Mike Bloxham of Magid discuss how streaming services are evolving to go beyond content to build and retain audience share.

Registration for the 10th Annual Cross-Platform Video Measurement and Data Summit is open to invited guests only.
