Challenges for Media and Entertainment Providers

Providers of arts and media need to find innovative ways to earn a living pursuing their passions. In an effort to monetize their craft, many providers struggle (and often fail) to earn enough revenue to maintain a lifestyle that continually supports their endeavors.

Why streaming services are not enough.


Providers of media and entertainment have grave issues with leading streaming services. Why is this so?

Streaming services tend to:

  • Keep promotional influence firmly in-house.

  • Distribute subscribers’ payments unevenly between providers.

  • Do not offer direct engagement or promote VIP relations.

But what about social media?
Social media makes it extremely difficult for a provider to promote their content directly to their loyal fanbase. Often these platforms distribute content at random and encourage promotional content over content based on relevancy and quality. In addition, these platforms make it near impossible to organize a provider’s premium content into one portfolio and they do not offer plans that will allow a provider to earn direct revenue via their supporters’ and fans’ subscription fees. Pindify offers all of this. And more.

Challenges for Businesses & Services (Partners)

The former industry model was designed to publish and promote top level entertainment through traditional channels. Today, those channels are disappearing. Traditional industry providers and distributors, such as radio and TV channels, magazines, publishers, and labels, are searching for new online outlets, especially now when competition is enormous and distribution is becoming more efficient.

Furthermore, it’s a high risk to labels to try to reach Billboard #1. Businesses need to recover revenues to settle on an average 80% of old failed recouped loans. This is especially true when ad blockers or the inflation of content may disturb future revenue models. Further, administration of handling payments, rights, ownership, and promotion is not cost effective. Lastly, it’s hard to align strategies in real time.

Pindify Partner Solution
As a partner, building an in-house technical platform is not a bad idea, but it’s expensive, it takes time, dedication and maintenance, which may result in severe churn.

Pindify is a complement, not a substitute, for partners. There is a “shopping center” where both small providers and huge partners have the possibility to prosper. Openness remains a guiding principle. Pindify expects to continue supporting our market ecosystem and integration with a wide variety of platforms, so when partner platforms are situated, they can still conduct business on the Pindify market.

Pindify extends audience segmentation and targets providers’ capabilities to power the promotion, distribution and consumer relations with even more precision, at scale.

Additionally, Pindify will help partners to capitalize on their providers’ relationships with their fans. An incentivized “pay-rail” between providers and their supporters enables partners to be even smarter about their providers’ content, stories and fan relations.

Pindify will empower partners to receive more relevant and valuable real-time insights to quickly align their strategies. Partners are able to find new talent by following their social, revenue, and ranking data. Once the provider is “signed,” partners can directly start working with them.


 

Challenges for Fans & Consumers
(Supporters)
Consumers today are actively using online streaming and social network technology, where they get fast and easy access to most audio, video, images and text that they consume and share. However, there are very few platforms that offer all categories to real supporters that empower and directly support their favorite providers, while being part of a super fan club.

Pindify supporter solution
Through Pindify’s unique framework, which includes the latest technologies, supporters are in control of who and how their subscriptions are distributed. They get access to exclusive content and special events, and they connect with providers that they love. Discover new (and old!) arts and media content on the market. Organize via library and home feeds. Pindify puts decision making back in the hands of the people directly impacted: the providers themselves, and those who support them.
