A Leading OTT Player Grows Revenue By 4X

A leading OTT player grows revenue by 4X without increasing team headcount via high levels of automation and a focus on accurate, valuable data.

  • For the sellers, placing advertisements in the form of banners or sponsored listings led to a demonstrable lift in sales on the platform.

  • For the platform itself, advertising could keep a premium set of sellers happy, while adding a revenue stream to their own business.

Business Challenges

In building this business, our customer had encountered a number of challenges:

Manual Ad Operations

Adding advertising required our customer to add new components to their tech stack and make changes to their platform.

Inability To Understand Revenue Risk

Creating this business also created several new and complicated workflows, many of them run manually via email chains, excel sheets, or other offline documents.

Inadequate Campaign Intelligence

Our customer experienced a steep learning curve in setting up this business, primarily because advertising was so different from their core e-commerce business.

Long Invoicing Cycles

Poor revenue visibility led to long billing cycles and higher working capital costs.

Goals

Campaign Delivery

Have the ability to predict the likelihood of campaign delivery before pushing campaigns live.

Spot Risks

Have the ability to spot campaign risks that lead to revenue loss.

Delivery Rates

Improve delivery rates with the help of additional targeting suggestions.

Approach

Simplified big data and turned them into real-time actionable insights on available audience targeting for the sales team.

Projected delivered revenue insights with booked revenue constraints by leveraging campaign pacing reports.
