| The Race to Build the Perfect Streaming Service | |
During one week in April, U.S. consumers streamed twice as much TV as they did the year prior. To capture that growing audience, networks—both the old guard (Netflix, Hulu and CBS All Access) and the new guard (HBO Max, Peacock and Disney+)—have lined up extensive libraries filled with shows people desperately want to binge. Only Apple+ and Quibi debuted without catalogs of classics. Instead, they've relied on top tier original programming. Of course, they're following in the footsteps of Netflix, which really ratcheted up its own content to revolutionize the streaming business. Read more: Where does this all lead? In this Adweek feature, streaming editor Kelsey Sutton looks at the strategy behind every piece of the industry: libraries, original content, marketing strategy and the UX of the various platforms. Related: Speaking of Quibi, the streamer is off to a rocky start. It has just 2 million daily active users despite spending $2 billion on its creation and release. What went wrong? A misunderstanding of how people consume short content could be to blame. | |
