Content Operations - The Book

In an increasingly complex multi-screen landscape, ‘Content Operations’ covers a lot of ground.

These days, broadcasters have to be all things to all people and broadcast content takes many forms. Faced with the challenge of accommodating streaming content across multiple delivery channels, broadcasters are absorbing the fundamentals of master control within the wider framework of Content Operations – and that requires strategic planning across the entire content supply chain.

This free eBook looks at how broadcasters are producing multi-format content to feed multiple channels at the same time. It examines how streaming tools can help monetize that same content, and how AI can optimize workflows to enable broadcasters to compete on personalization.

It also looks at how return path data is matching streaming platforms' audience insights and ad-targeting capabilities, and how a mix of technical innovation and strategic partnerships – including collaborative ventures with the streaming giants themselves – are enabling traditional broadcasters to compete on a more level playing field.

At a time when the boundaries between production and delivery are more blurred than ever, ‘Content Operations - The Book’ shows the way for every broadcaster navigating this complex landscape.
