In this session, our moderator, Kasia Jablonska, Director of Digital & On-Demand at BBC Studios, played devil’s advocate with her panellists and asked whether FAST really can and does work as a monetisation strategy for broadcasters, content owners and streamers.
Together with Stephen Byrne, CEO Nordics & VP Partnership Development at RTL AdAlliance, Valerio Motti, formerly VP FAST Channels, Fremantle, Maria Rua Aguete, Senior Research Director, M&E, at Omdia, and Andy Jones, Head of UK Sales at Samsung Ads, they’ll also discussed:
- Linear and BVOD viewing trends on Samsung and why FAST works on CTV platforms
- What consumers think about FAST as it evolves
- Hybridisation and where FAST fits in the mix with other pay models including AVOD and SVOD
- Related data privacy and security challenges
- And accurately measuring FAST viewing across platforms
