    IBS 2024: Unravelling the CTV puzzle

    Mumbai: The second edition of the Indian Brand Summit 2024, held in Mumbai, witnessed insightful discussions on how addressable advertising is transforming personalised marketing, the role of data in driving success, and the evolving landscape of OTT platforms and sports marketing. The event also explored the complexities of CTV and highlighted the rise of local brands to national prominence.

    One of the key sessions, titled “Unravelling the CTV Puzzle,” explored the rapid transformation of content consumption and the rise of connected TV (CTV). Chaired by Indian Television.com group founder, chairman & editor-in-chief Anil NM Wanvari, the panel featured Sujay Ray, L’Oréal India’s head – digital & media professional products division, Ashutosh Sinha, NDTV’s VP – distribution, and Nitin Burman, aha’s head – revenue and monetisation.

    Sujay Ray spoke about the significant technological shift over the last few years, marked by two waves—pre and post Jio, and pre and post COVID. “The first wave saw consumption move from linear and analog formats to digital,” Ray explained. The second wave further emphasized personalized content consumption, starting on smaller screens and gradually moving to larger ones. Ray added that legacy platforms have adapted to these changes, becoming more consumer-centric: “Legacy platforms have pivoted themselves, remaining cognizant of consumers’ evolving choices.”

    Nitin Burman highlighted how affordability and accessibility have driven CTV adoption, with smart TVs becoming more affordable, now available for as low as ₹7,000. He noted that this shift has made CTVs more accessible to both urban and rural markets. “People are switching from handheld devices to bigger connected TV screens for a more immersive experience,” Burman said, adding that this has led to higher revenue for platforms as audiences are willing to pay for better content and viewing experiences.

    Ashutosh Sinha pointed out how connected TV offers new opportunities to reach audiences and make previously unavailable content accessible. “Connected TV allows us to offer content that wasn’t available in traditional formats, expanding our reach to new audiences,” he remarked.

    The session shed light on how CTV is reshaping the media landscape, driven by technological advancements, shifting consumer preferences, and increasing affordability. As content consumption continues to evolve, connected TV is positioned to play a central role in the future of media.

    Indiantelevisio.com in an email interaction with Nitin Burman – Vice President, Head – Non-Subscription Revenue, aha on their strategy to move to a hybrid platform, and achieving a tremendous growth and much more…

    Edited excerpts

    On aha’s transition from a subscription model to a hybrid platform is a significant shift

    The first big hurdle was to change the mindsets. Everyone internally was tuned to run this app ad-free, and we did that for a year successfully. After one year of operations, we started the Non-Subs revenue and within the first 8 months, we contributed significant revenue that resulted in rethinking the strategy of app operations. Every start-up wants to hit break even at the earliest and with Non-Subs contribution, we could now see that goal closer.

    On achieving revenue growth from zero to 50 crores in just two years

    We as a brand were completely unknown. We had a very clear vision of reaching out to all clients and agencies who are advertising in the AP&TG area and introducing them to the world of aha. We had set up our direct sales team in all major cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad & Chennai. The entire team from top to bottom had just one task covering maximum ground and ensuring that aha was established as the choice platform for all advertisers who want to advertise to Telugu audience.

    On the rise of global streaming giants and aha positioning itself to cater to the preferences of regional audiences

    We are very clear in our positioning. We want to be a one-stop entertainment digital platform for the Telugu audience and want to be present in every Telugu household. We have been working on that by having a very robust content lineup. We are not just releasing movies on our platform but are also releasing fiction series & daily episodic series. We have the strongest line-up of OTT-exclusive non-fiction shows and have also started live news on our platforms. We are targeting consumers who want high-quality standards by providing our content in 4k with Dolby audio and an ad-free experience through our gold plan and are also simultaneously reaching out to budget consumers by giving them access to our entire library with limited ads at entry-level price points.

    On the insights into the challenges and opportunities in managing brand collaborations and sponsorships

    We have our in-house creative team which takes the brand briefs from our sales team and writes integrations along with our content team to create seamless brand integrations. We have done integrations in our fiction shows, aha original movies and non-fiction shows. Apart from this, we have also now started creating white-label products like brand films and music videos based on brand requirements. We have created a rap music video for ITC Bingo with our Indian idol singers & roll ride. We created a Ganesha song for a retail brand – Tenali Double Horse. With Sprite we created a campaign – Sprite screentime where we wanted to establish Sprite as the go-to beverage while watching content on aha.

    On the expansion into on-ground IPs and unique events and the long-term potential of these initiatives in terms of audience engagement and revenue generation

    It serves 2 purposes for

    It helps us to take the aha brand to the audiences and create much deeper engagement, and

    It helps us to generate revenue and cut our existing marketing expenses as the brand helps to fund our on-ground IPs.

    We rolled out this vertical 3 months back and launched aha comedy nights – a 6 city standup comedy tour where we started in Hyderabad with Zakir Khan and then took 2 Telugu comedians to 4 cities of AP & TG and will be ending the tour on 27th Oct with Atul Khatri. We have had a tremendous response in the first 5 cities and have engaged with close to 10k audiences. We have also done aha screen time where we screened our movies for the audiences in a cool evening outing avatar. Our upcoming events range from talent hunts to film festivals to music concerts.

    On the AVOD model playing a significant role in aha’s growth

    We started AVOD inventory last year on mobile and web for Telugu. Now, we have added inventory on both Telugu and Tamil – mobile and web and CTV.

    We are running AVOD at an average fill rate of 85%+ on both banner and video inventory for Non-Skip Ads.

    We have seen CTRs of 3x times the industry average.

    We have been able to operate at a particular CPM benchmark and have been able to maintain that as we have a limited inventory with the best engagements.

    We are rated number 2 on comScore after YouTube and number 1 across all OTTs.

    On the expansion in the south, any plans to come to the Hindi market

    As of now no plans to be in the Hindi market. The regional markets in India are big and can be self-sustaining as in terms of audiences it is bigger than many European countries. We are now in 2 languages and are currently evaluating options for 3rd language.

    On the vision of aha in the next 3 years

    I would love to see aha as the biggest regional OTT across multiple regional languages and maybe expand to one of the foreign languages.

    In an email interaction with Indiantelevision.com, Arha Media and Broadcasting Pvt Ltd head SVOD business unit and business strategy Rakesh CK, spoke at length about the platform’s content and the reason for revising subscription rates…..

    Edited Excerpts:

    On interpreting this phenomenon of the growth of OTT in regional content gaining immense popularity and regional content managing to capture attention even amidst Hindi content dominance

    The growth of OTT platforms has expanded the canvas for India’s innovative content. Regional content’s popularity surge can be attributed to its authenticity, cultural resonance, and ability to deeply connect with audiences. While Hindi content continues to be influential, regional content’s rise showcases the power of local narratives. This resonates with audiences seeking relatable stories that reflect their culture and language.

    On aha achieving a reach of 32 million app downloads and an active user base of 2.3 million in a short span of three years and its YoY growth

    Achieving 32 million app downloads and an active user base of 2.3 million in just three years is indeed a journey we are extremely proud of. Despite industry challenges last year, our unwavering commitment to match up to our customers’ expectations allowed us to surpass milestones from previous years. Tamil launch gave us an added impetus and we exceeded our previous years’ numbers handsomely, showcasing our resilience and the value we offer to our customers. This year has commenced with strong growth momentum, propelling us toward further success.

    On the content strategy when it comes to greenlighting shows

    Our content strategy revolves around accessibility and value creation. We’re investing in a diverse array of content to cater to Telugu and Tamil families. This includes acquisitions like ‘Krack, Baby,’ ‘Samajavaragamana,’ ‘Malli Pelli,’ and ‘Intinti Ramayanam.’ We’re also dedicated to producing fiction originals such as ‘Newsense’ and ‘Sathi Gani Rendu Ekuralu,’ along with engaging non-fiction content like ‘Family Dhamaaka’ and ‘Telugu Indian Idol 2.’ This diverse approach ensures we deliver wholesome entertainment to Telugu and Tamil families alike.

    On the strategy behind going for a rate revision in your subscription packages

    Our strategy for revising subscription packages aims to offer tailored options that cater to a diverse audience. Ranging from mobile-focused plans to premium experiences like aha Gold, our goal is to provide a variety of choices aligned with varying preferences. For example, we are enhancing our Gold proposition to value beyond the platform and create experiences for Gold customers. This approach enhances accessibility while maximising the value we provide to our subscribers.

    On the southern market’s consumer preference, SVOD or AVOD

    Similar to the national context, the South market demonstrates diverse consumer preferences between SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand) and AVOD (Ad-Supported Video on Demand) models. Preferences vary among viewers, with some opting for ad-free experiences while others find comfort in ad-supported content.

    On aha maintaining its position in the Telugu and Tamil markets and its USP to stay ahead and wow the audience as there is competition in this market from the other plates

    aha’s success in the Telugu and Tamil markets is rooted in our commitment to authenticity and innovative storytelling. Our unique selling proposition lies in delivering content that resonates with the local audience. Combined with our user-friendly interface and experience, this sets us apart and fortifies our position amidst competition. Staying true to our roots and consistently wowing the audience drives our continued success.

    Where do you see yourself in the next three years

    In the next three years, we envision aha growing toward profitability while maintaining a strong presence in Telugu and Tamil households. We’ll continue providing compelling content experiences that cater to evolving viewer preferences.

    On the plan to expand to other languages

    While our primary focus remains on growing and sustaining success in Telugu, we continue to invest and build our Tamil proposition to a similar scale. Entry to other languages continues to be an exciting proposition, but entry is defined by multiple factors. Recognising India’s linguistic diversity is key to our success and delivering quality content to a broader audience while maintaining authenticity and excellence is core to aha’s continued success.
