Gracenote e Amagi uniscono le forze per semplificare il go-to-market FAST per gli editori di contenuti

Un nuovo accordo tra i leader nell'arricchimento dei metadati dei contenuti e nell'abilitazione al playout FAST accelera il percorso verso la monetizzazione dei contenuti

NEW YORK – September 26, 2024 – Nielsen’s Gracenote, the leading global entertainment metadata provider, is teaming with Amagi, a global leader in cloud-based SaaS technology for broadcast and Connected TV (CTV), to help content owners capitalize on consumer appetite for free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) services. This collaboration enables Amagi to serve as a one-stop shop for customers, simplifying the process of getting programming onto major FAST platforms and in front of entertainment-hungry viewers worldwide.

Content partners can now access select Gracenote products through Amagi’s channel creation solution, providing a one-stop platform for speedier ingestion of programs and schedules into the Gracenote ecosystem. This integration streamlines FAST go-to-market, allowing for more efficient content management and delivery. It also ensures that publishers’ content metadata is normalized and enriched at the earliest stages of the FAST channel creation process and then quickly passed to Gracenote’s extensive global distribution network. Beyond benefiting from a streamlined process, Amagi customers will also enjoy greater program discoverability on FAST platforms and increased advertising monetization. 

"FAST rappresenta il prossimo capitolo dello streaming e i metadati dei contenuti sono il fattore chiave del coinvolgimento che alimenta l'evoluzione", ha dichiarato Tim Cutting, Chief Revenue Officer di Gracenote. "La nostra collaborazione con Amagi aiuta in modo olistico gli editori di contenuti ad accelerare il go-to-market di FAST, in modo che possano capitalizzare l'opportunità e ottenere subito la monetizzazione".

“Our agreement with Gracenote aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify and accelerate content monetization in the rapidly evolving CTV ecosystem,” said KA Srinivasan, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Amagi. “By integrating Gracenote’s industry-leading metadata enrichment and normalization services into our cloud-based playout and content delivery workflow, we’re enabling content owners to bring their programming to audiences more efficiently than ever before — reducing time to market and enhancing content discoverability across major FAST platforms. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in streamlining the FAST channel creation and distribution process.” 

Questo nuovo accordo tra Gracenote e Amagi, leader nelle rispettive aree della catena del valore dello streaming, si traduce in un vantaggio per il settore e per i consumatori. Facilitando un go to market più efficiente, le società accelerano insieme la distribuzione e la monetizzazione dei contenuti, attirando un maggior numero di programmatori e una migliore scopribilità dei contenuti sulle principali piattaforme di streaming. In ultima analisi, ciò va a vantaggio degli spettatori, che sempre più spesso si rivolgono a servizi gratuiti e supportati da pubblicità per saziare il loro appetito di contenuti di alta qualità.

Gracenote will attend Amagi’s LA FAST 2024 conference on October 1. To learn more, go to https://www.amagi.com/events/la-fast.
