Analytics, Personalization and Monetization Differentiates Global Online Video Platforms

— In order to remain competitive, vendors must create tighter technology partnerships to provide customers with value-added services, finds Frost & Sullivan

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The global online video platform (OVP) market is set to double by 2019 as video rapidly becomes a critical means of stakeholder communication and collaboration for enterprises globally. Due to content proliferation and the bring your own device (BYOD) trend, OVP’s are becoming an essential fixture as media and entertainment (M&E) companies are urged to economically deliver video to fast-growing, fragmented video-enabled consumer devices. 

A new analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Analysis of the Global Online Video Platforms Market, finds that the market earned revenue of $369.4 million in 2013 and is estimated to reach $800.2 million by 2019.

“As more niche content finds its way online and intense competition causes customers to differentiate on content selection, time to market, and quality of experience, OVPs will be critical to ensure business success for M&E firms,” said Frost & Sullivan Digital Media Industry Analyst Anisha Vinny. “The inability of M&E organizations to handle the complexity of publishing video online is particularly fuelling the demand for OVPs that can manage and monetize video assets.”

Where budgets are constrained and in regions where the economy has yet to pick up, OVP deployments are slower, which in turn makes home-grown solutions or YouTube popular substitutes. Security concerns around handling branded Intellectual Property (IP) in the cloud and the lack of enterprise-wide video strategies also present challenges.

In addition, there is also confusion around what constitutes an OVP owing to the number of features, including transcoding, DRM, analytics and multi-platform delivery. From a customer’s perspective, comparing various product features, pricing and deployment options is complicated. This lack of market awareness around exact capabilities of an OVP makes consumer education and the right messaging critical.

“Investing in tighter technology partnerships to provide customers with value-added services and critically analyzing product portfolios to make partner versus acquire decisions will be key to maintaining a competitive edge in this market,” noted Vinny. “Even if they do not cultivate a strong local presence, OVP vendors must at least invest in building relationships with reseller channels in Latin America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific to widen their market scope.”

As a result, offering analytics, metrics and personalization that enable companies to derive value from their video assets will help OVP vendors differentiate themselves in the evolving market.

SCMP Group Launches EsquireHK.com

First and Only International Men’s Fashion & Lifestyle Media Brand to Kick-start Multimedia Website in HK

HONG KONG, Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — SCMP Group Ltd (SEHK: 583), Asia’s leading media holding company, today announced that it will launch EsquireHK.com on 1 September, establishing Esquire as the first and only international men’s fashion & lifestyle media brand with a localized multimedia online presence in Hong Kong. This follows the publication of Esquire’s Chinese version in January after SCMP Hearst Magazines Limited, a joint venture between SCMP Group and Hearst Magazines International, acquired its publication rights in Hong Kong.

Leveraging the resonance of the print edition’s lifestyle and fashion content, EsquireHK.com will enrich readers’ experience with a host of multimedia daily-refreshed channels on Style, Lifestyle, Watches, Food & Drinks, Machines, People and Esquire TV. The new website shares the signature brand essence and motif of its US counterpart esquire.com, while infusing Hong Kong and international editorial directions with local flair.  EsquireHK.com is powered by multi-talented online editorial specialists that create daily lifestyle & fashion news, reviews, tips, how-to guides and interviews using lively language, videos, photos, infographics and images.

SCMP Group announced that EsquireHK.com will be launched on 1 Sep, establishing Esquire as the first and only international men’s fashion & lifestyle media brand with a localized multimedia online presence in Hong Kong.

SCMP Group announced that EsquireHK.com will be launched on 1 Sep, establishing Esquire as the first and only international men’s fashion & lifestyle media brand with a localized multimedia online presence in Hong Kong.

Ms. Josephine Chan, Managing Director, SCMP Magazines Publishing Ltd said, “Through research and focus groups, we confirmed our belief that there is a dearth of men’s fashion and lifestyle websites with quality and original content in sync with what Hong Kong readers are looking for. EsquireHK.com helps us bridge this important market void, while strengthening our connection with readers, and importantly, building on the success that Esquire print has attained since the January launch.”

Ms. Chan added, “With daily updated content, EsquireHK.com will become indispensable to marketers and advertisers looking for an integrated men-focused advertising and promotion platform. In Esquire magazine and Esquirehk.com, they will be able to direct their promotional efforts to a high-value group of target audience that cares about style and substance.”

An online campaign titled “Are you THE MAN?” has preempted the website launch and introduced readers to Esquire HK’s brand essence – modern, sophisticated, confident and detailed.  Created by the EsquireHK.com team, the campaign is making a splash with visitors, some of whom heard about it from Esquire’s HK Facebook page. The campaign challenges site visitors to test their understanding of “Lifestyle, Style, Workplace and Party”. Registered participants who submit outstanding answers will win special prizes. The campaign www.esquireHK.com/areyoutheman will end on September 7.
