It is the Philippines’ largest entertainment and media conglomerate, producing, and streaming online news, and entertainment video content.

Challenge

ABS-CBN, a major media platform, struggled to gain a holistic view of their streaming video operation. Data silos from various systems and manual post-processing made it difficult to understand user behavior and attribute financial impact to investments. They needed a solution to:

  • Reduce time to connect video analytics and financial data.

  • Automatically combine data from multiple sources with ad events.

  • Better estimate the financial impact of streaming platform optimizations.

Solution

Datazoom's data collection and enrichment capabilities provided the answer. ABS-CBN leveraged Datazoom to:

  • Collect streaming video data from viewers.

  • Integrate data from third-party sources like Google Ad Manager.

  • Centralize and standardize data into a single source of truth.

  • Streamline data flow into their existing data lake via the Datazoom Connector.

This eliminated the need for manual updates and provided real-time visibility for leadership to make data-driven decisions.
