Adobe is announcing the launch of Adobe Primetime Account IQ which enables video streaming services to identify and understand credential sharing activity, measure the impact of applying actions, and effectively monetize subscriber behavior.
Nearly 4 in 10 Americans are using someone else’s streaming account and 29 percent of all D2C streaming accounts are being shared with others outside the household. US video streaming service providers are facing $25 billion revenue losses per year to Illegal sharing of subscription streaming credentials. Many popular video streaming services including Netflix, Disney+ and HBO Max have started addressing credential sharing, however there are multiple challenges when it comes to identifying and acting on credential sharing.
Detecting credential sharing and fraud is difficult and requires a deep understanding of the subscriber activity which needs robust data on usage pattern, sophisticated analytical tools, and audience insights. Account IQ data analysis powered by Adobe Sensei, Adobe’s artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, uses multiple ML-based models to accurately characterize usage patterns and provides video streaming service providers invaluable subscriber insights. This helps them understand usage behavior and identify when sharing takes place, with a high degree of confidence at an aggregate and individual account level, track and measure the impact of targeted actions and adopt an iterative strategy leading to optimal monetization over time.
