Creating a unified audience profile

Data captured, stored and managed in disparate systems prevents media organizations from having a full view of audience and advertiser data.

Delivering an outstanding user experience

Consumers expect frictionless 1:1 personalized experiences at all times, across their devices. The challenge is to deliver these experiences in real time, at scale.

Maximizing all your media data

Legacy data warehouses cannot handle unstructured data such as video, image and audio files, which prevents organizations from unlocking the full potential of their most valuable assets.

Moving beyond aggregation to advanced analytics

What can you do with the lakehouse?

Accelerate audience and advertiser outcomes on an open, collaborative platform for data, analytics and AI

360° view of your audience

Bring together all your structured and unstructured data — clickstream, demographic, social — in a single platform for analytics and AI. With a holistic view of the consumer journey, organizations can understand content preferences that help deliver more personalized experiences and develop more targeted advertising and engagement.

Mitigate churn and increase ARPU

With an agile cloud-based platform, organizations can quickly and reliably process massive amounts of data and feed it to downstream systems to deliver a 1:1 experience on any channel at any time. As consumers’ expectations around real-time recommendations keep rising — and media companies fight for consumer attention — ensuring that personalization approaches real time is becoming a requirement for many organizations.

Drive revenue from a content library

Media companies are built on unstructured data like video, images and audio files, so the ability to analyze unstructured data is essential for effective media asset management. Lakehouse for M&E can be used by marketers to leverage archived content for campaigns, production teams looking for existing content to include in new productions and sales teams seeking IP they can sell to other media companies.

Leverage pre-built models for ML/AI. Put ML at the core of your business

Unlock the power of machine learning to better understand consumer, employee and advertiser needs. When all your data is centralized and seamlessly connected by a full suite of collaborative analytics and machine learning tools, data teams can work together to build powerful predictive models that drive new innovations in personalization, content monetization and advertiser outcomes.
