Streaming competition is fierce: It’s time to fix content discovery and super-serve consumers

It’s been a whirlwind first month at the top for 24i’s new CEO, Dr Neale Foster. In this blog, he reflects on the people he’s met in his whistle-stop tour of 24i’s offices – and why his love of football is inspiring him to put our customers’ customers at the heart of 24i’s future development!

There could hardly be a more exciting time to be taking the reins at an end-to-end streaming company. Different estimates suggest the global video streaming market will be worth as much as $115.90bn or even $149bn by 2026. But with more services than ever vying for consumers’ attention, competition is also tougher than it’s ever been. Every streaming company is looking for an edge. It’s our job to help them find it. I’m increasingly convinced personalized UX and improved content discovery is the key.
