Our Monetization Strategy
Our monetization strategy starts with content. Our placement of content across the streaming ecosystem results in revenue generated a number of different ways including:
- Licensing deals occur most often when our content is provided to a TV network, cable outlet or to a streaming service in exchange for a fee and exclusive use over a period of time.
- Sponsorship deals happen more often with new projects where a brand pays a fee to have its message, product and branding seamlessly integrated into the content.
- Revenue from the streaming services in exchange for placement of our content and/or channels when it’s determined they can better monetize the ad inventory.
- Revenue from our own advertising where we control a percentage of the ad inventory on the streaming service in exchange for placing our content and/or channels.
- Driving sales, via ecommerce, of merchandise and services associated with our shows and channels.
Our Competitive Advantage

- Rights to a growing catalog of originals + studio and production capabilities to create new original content.
- Live FAST channels and original content distributed across multiple markets on major streaming services.
- Technology to normalize and deliver content for VOD, curated into a FAST channel or into the schedule of other channels.
