Media Company Launches OTT Streaming Platform with 200K Subscribers
About the Client
Regional Media Group

The Challenge
All content was distributed through broadcast and YouTube — no owned subscription platform.
Revenue was entirely dependent on advertising, creating vulnerability to market fluctuations.
No subscriber data — the media group had no direct relationship with their audience.
Our Approach
Designed a subscription-first OTT architecture with free and premium tiers.
Built multi-CDN delivery strategy ensuring <3 second startup time across target markets.
Designed a recommendation engine using collaborative filtering on viewing history.
The Solution
Launched OTT platform with web, iOS, Android, and smart TV apps.
Built subscription billing with Stripe and regional payment methods.
Deployed DRM-protected streaming using Widevine and FairPlay.
Results & Impact
"We built a direct relationship with our audience for the first time in our history. The OTT platform is now the fastest-growing revenue line in our business."
