FEED IBC ISSUE 2026 Web

SHORT SUPPLY Netflix recently developed a Clips feed for smartphones as part of the streaming platform’s strategy to keep existing subscribers engaged with its content offering

behaviour, service quality, advertising and customer support. It must enable decisions while there is still time to influence the experience: changing a recommendation, recovering a payment or correcting a playback fault. Beyond peak streaming, growth will be won through thousands of better decisions: helping a customer discover a second programme, recovering a failed payment, surfacing value from an overlooked archive title and delivering advertising without damaging the viewing experience. Achieving this demands more than compelling content. It requires connected data and an organisation that can act on audience signals in real time. The next generation of streaming leaders will not necessarily own the largest libraries or report the most accounts. They will be the platforms that recognise when a customer’s interest is weakening and adapt before that relationship is lost. Peak streaming is not the end of growth; it is the end of growth without discipline. In this more mature market, enduring success will belong to the businesses that can turn audience attention into sustained engagement and profitable relationships.
