In the ever-changing landscape of digital streaming, the focus has shifted to the rapidly evolving FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) ecosystem, which offers an alternative to traditional linear TV and subscription-based streaming services.

What are some of the most effective ways to use streaming data? Nadine Krefetz, Consultant, Reality Software, Contributing Editor, Streaming Media, talks with Damian Pelliccione, CEO / Co-Founder, Revry, and Jeff Annison, Co-Founder and President, Legion M, about how their organizations gather and best apply streaming analytics.

In six years since we've launched Revry, the way in which we have distributed our content has vastly changed. We started as a subscription video on demand (SVOD) product. That was before the major streamers entered the LGBTQ+ market in 2016.

"Diversity" and "representation" aren’t just buzzwords, nor should efforts to achieve them stop in the boardroom and HR department. If you’re not reaching as diverse an audience as possible, you’re leaving money on the table; the LGBTQ market alone is estimated to represent $1.1 trillion in spending power in the U.S. alone. On this panel, representatives from niche video services join their wider-reaching counterparts to talk about the importance of diversity in OTT and how to achieve it.

Whether they’re defined by the type of content—science fiction, horror, romance—or the type of audience, niche services are the long tail of the OTT universe. But just because their audiences are limited doesn’t mean their revenue opportunities are. Partnerships with aggregators and “mainstream” services offer pathways to bigger viewership numbers, and innovative marketing approaches can turn small services into big successes. Join us as we talk about how.
