AGGREGATORS NEED TO FOCUS ON MEDIA ANALYTICS AND MARKET INTELLIGENCE
The ability to better assess market potential through profound market knowledge and consumer insights for given titles is key:

Insights into audience’s habits and preferences

Detect trends

Performance forecasts and benchmarking
Understanding customer preferences and consumption patterns will help provide media content with visibility (and revenue streams) through targeted distribution and promotion strategies. Aggregators are already well placed with the in-depth market knowledge to generate valuable market insights.
MANY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANIES ALREADY LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL DATA SOURCES TO OPTIMIZE BUSINESS DECISIONS
Aggregators have access to a high amount of data
Aggregators already have access to a high amount of data about various distribution platforms and content, which already puts them in a good position to generate holistic market insights. However, this data is based on released content and the markets to which they have access.
Holistic datasets are needed to generate reliable insights
With more in-depth market knowledge, aggregators are able to provide content-owners with successful distribution strategies and create relevant offers to digital distribution platforms such as Netflix or iTunes.
