window one movies, but also series and non-exclusive library content. We have a mix of volume and quality, of genre and category, to give substance to the window one original movie and original programming, and our own production/ commissioned production.” And this is where cross-platform partnerships play a vital role. “For me, original is branding. In Discovery’s case, they commission content and have enough human resources to manage those commissions. They are deeply involved in the productions. Other companies license content exclusively for a sufficient period of time to establish perceived ownership among viewers, and they stamp it with an original brand. And it’s very effective. That’s what we do.” Beermann offered some
insights into Jawwy TV’s “macro programming model”. “We want to own and operate a particular strand of programming that will be the exclusive marketing tent poles of the platform. StarzPlay just leased in August to do an exclusive series called Heels. Through their regular pipeline from Lionsgate, they have a regular flow of day and date originals from Starz Encore in the US. But they are Starz Originals, not Jawwy Originals. As an aggregator, we promote them as a Starz Original. We have a small but strong inventory of programmes that are exclusive to Jawwy TV that we use to differentiate the Jawwy TV position. StarzPlay and Discovery and the rest are marketing tent poles to drive the differentiation, consideration, subscription acquisition and retention.” The trick, he says, is to drive engagement through established
content, which sets the ball rolling for other aspects of the OTT operation. “Once we get them in the tent, they see everything.” Even the most basic content decisions, however, are based on consumer data. Dada provided a view of how programming pans out on the ground. “Most of the feedback that I give here is based on consumer data. For us, what makes a lot of sense and gets really high consumption from the majority of our subscription base is always the new series, which air at the same time as the US. We have a lot of partnerships that allow us to do that, for example Billions and the upcoming new season of Dexter through our output deal with Showtime.” Starzplay data also shows that viewers love evergreen comedy box sets such as The
