Remember the TV Guide? It’s back! Shorts is your new TV Guide. 53% of millennials and Gen Zers say they get better recommendations on social media compared to streaming platforms. With a cohesive shorts strategy, Tier 1s can reverse that trend and benefit from the enhanced discovery that comes with short-form content. Quickplay Shorts, an NAB Product of the Year award winner, revolutionizes the discovery experience, while also offering greater monetization opportunities and the ability to promote higher-value long-form content in your library.

Streamers, you won’t want to miss this: 71% of Gen Z use YouTube and social platforms for video discovery. Released today, “Gen Z Culture Decoded” illustrates that streamers and studios need to integrate short-form content into their content mix to remain competitive. It’s simply no longer a “nice-to-have.” This is precisely why we’ve built Quickplay Shorts: to accelerate streamers’ roadmap to short-form content experiences. We are redefining the retention game by enabling our customers to captivate this evolving Gen Z audience, while driving strategic promotion of long-form content and subscriptions, and unlocking new revenue streams within their ecosystems. We are glad to be one of the sponsors who’ve helped bring this important study to life, along with Toluna, Halford Media Advisory, Coraly Partners and Swerve Sports. See links to the report and the press release below in the comments. If you’d like to learn more about Quickplay Shorts and heading to NAB next week, come meet the Quickplay team!
