INDUSTRY — STREAMING & MEDIA

Streaming marketing between launch pressure and catalogue truth.

Win subscribers, justify watch-time per title, turn IP into a brand. Campaigns for launches that can't wait — and back-catalogue that still has to live.

Case study: Sky Oesterreich, House of the Dragon — the brand's most successful Game of Thrones campaign to date.

OUR THESIS

A streaming brand isn't decided in the trailer — it's decided in the pause between episode one and episode two.

Acquisition is half the job. Retention decides lifetime value. We build campaigns that don't just drive sign-ups but secure the second weekend on the platform.

INDUSTRY REALITIES
01

Tentpole vs. catalogue.

A mega-launch pulls — the catalogue holds. Both need their own campaign architecture. Tentpole logic applied to catalogue burns budget.

02

Watch-time is the real metric.

Subscriber counts without watch-time context are vanity. Marketing has to understand cost-per-viewing-hour, not just CAC.

03

Fandom is a distribution channel.

An active community delivers 30% of your reach — free and more credible than any paid ad. Fan strategy isn't optional.

04

Ad-tier vs. premium shifts the logic.

Hybrid models (AVOD/SVOD) need different brand promises per tier. One message for both rarely works.

KPIs WE STEER BY
Cost per Net Add
Acquisition cost net of cancellation. Gross CAC lies in streaming.
Watch-Time pro Title
Real performance metric. Correlates with retention better than any click rate.
Retention nach 30/60/90 Tagen
When does the cohort fall off? Marketing for the 30-day point looks different from the 90-day one.

With clear spoiler policies per channel, an aligned release sequence for owned/earned and a plan for fan backlash. Communities don't forgive sloppiness.
