 “It’s clear that brand-funded entertainment has immense power to engage audiences and grow business” said Free Turn’s Co-Founder and Managing Director Gemma Batterby. “But, how can we make the development process smarter? Until now, advertisers have been forced to create entertainment with little insight into what audiences consume and crave. There has been no way to test ideas with audiences before investing significant amounts of marketing capital,” 

As viewers worldwide increasingly watch more TV shows and movies across multiple streaming platforms, brands will be able to anticipate audience and cultural trends to produce world-class entertainment to grab audience attention, contribute to culture and deliver competitive edge.

Whip Media’s real-time viewing and engagement data, covering more than 4+ million television episodes and movies across 80 countries and 1,200+ platforms, will provide unique advantages to marketers looking to connect their branded content to more consumers and drive growth opportunities.
