In an interview with Business Insider Germany, our CEO Peter Effenberg talks about current challenges for streaming providers – and how jay is opening up new revenue streams.
“Watch and shop: How streaming services can make money with this founder’s programme” says the headline of a new feature on jay by Business Insider Germany. In the article, our CEO Peter Effenberg shares how he became aware of the value of metadata through his work as a production manager and how our technology facilitates new revenue streams for streaming providers. These are indeed urgently needed, as the media industry is currently going through a major transformation.
“The pure subscription model is no longer sufficient to break even,” concludes Effenberg in the interview. Some streaming services are now even considering introducing commercial breaks – just as we know them from linear TV. But not only should classical ads be a thing of the past, they also have a negative impact on the streaming experience. With jay, we are working on a different solution that will instead open up a whole new, interactive content experience for audiences and will also create novel business opportunities for streaming providers.
