文章特色图片

2014年流媒体西部大会高调拉开帷幕 精力充沛的主旨 from 科里 Mummery, vice president and general manager of NFL现在. This has been a year of experimentation for the new service, 但Mummery很乐意坐下来接受采访,分享目前为止的工作. He started by explaining the value proposition of NFL现在.

"All of the content in one place is important. 它包括, 如我所说, 俱乐部有很多幕后的内容是由俱乐部制作的, 无论是训练营, 球员的采访, 教练的采访, 新闻发布会, 诸如此类,玛丽解释道. “将这些内容与游戏集锦以及我们围绕游戏制作的许多镜头结合起来,然后是围绕游戏制作的编辑内容,然后是我们制作的编辑内容."

NFL现在 is starting slowing with monetization options, including video ads. What kind of ad load works best on the service?

"First off, it depends on platform," Mummery said. "The 移动 experience, specifically the duration of the ad. 15秒是我们发现的最佳时间点我也会说用户能理解. They understand that if it's a free platform, 广告是免费体验的一部分,他们正在观看的是付费内容, whether it's from a club or NFL-produced content, 他们想要内容, 他们会看的."

To learn more about what works for NFL现在, watch the full interview below.

 

特洛伊: Hi, this is 特洛伊德雷尔 from StreamingMedia.欢迎收看在阳光明媚的加州亨廷顿海滩举行的2014年流媒体西部节目. This is the opening day and our opening day keynoter is joining me here. This is 科里 Mummery, vice president and general manager with NFL现在. This year, the NFL launched the big new online product called NFL现在. 科里 was kind enough to drop by and tell us about it, what it includes and why it was so vital that the NFL do this. 你为什么不告诉我们NFL现在是什么?

科里当然,特洛伊. 美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)今年启动了一项新举措,将整个联盟制作的所有视频内容聚合在一起, 32俱乐部, NFL媒体, NFL的电影, 我们所有的比赛亮点, 将其整合到一个名为NFL现在的产品中,然后将其完全分发到用户目前使用的所有平台上, 从桌面, 移动, 平板电脑, 连接电视, 设备.

特洛伊现在,NFL现在为球迷提供了什么他们无法从其他在线百家乐软件中获得的东西?

科里: There's a few big things that I'd point out there. Number one, all of the content in one place is important. 就像我说的, 俱乐部有很多幕后的内容是由俱乐部制作的, 无论是训练营, 球员的采访, 教练的采访, 新闻发布会, 诸如此类. 将它们与游戏集锦以及我们围绕游戏制作的许多镜头结合起来,然后是我们围绕游戏制作的编辑内容,然后是我们在NFL媒体中制作的编辑内容以及更长的内容的电影, 猛烈的打击, other content series that your fans would definitely recognize. Pulling that together into one platform is number one.

这是NFL第一个包含所有视频内容的顶级视频产品. Then number two, again, video fully distributed. 无论你的粉丝使用什么连接电视设备, 他们可以收看NFL现在, 这就是Xbox, Apple TV以及其他所有设备,以及移动设备,将它们结合在一起,提供个性化的视频体验,这是针对用户最感兴趣的内容. 那可能是最受欢迎的球队. 如果他们玩幻想游戏, 他们的幻想玩家, just whatever they're interested around the NFL, pulling in all these content on all these different platforms.

特洛伊在我看来,个性化确实是推动这一趋势的关键因素. 你说你在几天内添加了超过一千个片段,然后人们可能找不到他们感兴趣的所有片段. How do you personalize and get people what they need?

科里:绝对, personalization is key because there is a lot of content, we're producing thousands of clips on some days like you said, especially around Sundays when we're producing five, 六个, 一天七百个亮点. Then on top of that, you add all of the other editorial content that we produce. 在大多数情况下,这些数字对于用户来说太高了,以至于他们无法找到自己的内容. 我们有编辑策划, 我们将其建立在渠道中,并将内容整合到故事情节中, 最受欢迎的, but the key of it is personalization like you said.

球迷,球队的球迷,我们知道用户数据. 我们知道用户在消费什么, 将其与视频元数据相匹配,因此我们将尽可能多的元数据放入视频中. 其中的球员, 与该内容相关的团队以及内容的内容. 是关于幻想吗?? 是关于新闻,突发新闻吗? 元数据中包含了什么,然后个性化引擎将两者匹配在一起,为平台上数百万用户中的每一个人建立一个线性的内容流,这样他们就可以坐下来观看个性化的视频片段.

特洛伊你们在今年的盈利方面并没有采取强硬立场,对吧? 你在做一些实验. 你看到了什么是有效的. What type of things are you experimenting with?

科里:是的. 2014年是我们进行实验的一年,我们想看看什么在这个平台上行得通. We have long form content like I've mentioned, 电影, 猛烈的打击, 足球生涯, many other series that your fans would recognize. 我们觉得这是优质内容. 我们觉得这是一种NFL的档案,我们觉得我们的用户会付费访问,以及我们的亮点体验,我们打包到包的付费访问高级部分. Then the other piece of it like you mentioned is monetization around advertising.

很明显, 我们有很多赞助商和媒体行业代表都想成为NFL现在的一部分, 谁想参与其中 ... in front of our users that are very passionate about video. 显然,视频广告正在增长,对所有营销活动都非常重要. Given this is a video-focused product, video advertising is key to it as well. 2014 was all about testing in terms of where do we deliver ads? Is it when the user first watches their first video? 我们要等着看用户的反应吗?

看了所有的数据, 关于用户如何与平台互动的指标,我们全年都在进行调整. We would deliver less ads or more ads and see how users would respond. 向付费用户投放较少的广告, 向免费用户投放更多广告, 收集所有的数据,他们做出决定,我们现在正在把所有的事情都处理好,为2015年做好准备.

特洛伊: Can you share with us some things you've learned about ad loads? 什么是合适的广告水平?广告应该投放到哪里才能获得最佳用户体验?

科里:是啊. 首先,这取决于平台. The 移动 experience, specifically the duration of the ad. 15秒是我们发现的最佳时间点我也会说用户能理解. They understand that if it's a free platform, 广告是免费体验的一部分,他们正在观看的是付费内容, whether it's from a club or NFL-produced content, 他们想要内容, 他们会看的. I think in today's digital age, they understand that there's going to be ads.

我们只需要了解他们适合的地方,以及用户喜欢看广告的地方,让用户留在网站上,给他们带来乐趣, 愉快的经历. The duration of the ad is one, fifteen seconds especially on 移动. 它有时可以在桌面上停留更长的时间,然后在你放置广告的地方. Putting in front of that first view maximizes exposure, 但显然会影响用户体验,所以我们需要小心我们在那里做的事情, but if you put it deeper into the content consumption, 那么很多用户就不会看到广告了. There's that sweet spot that we're kind of measuring right now. 我们将在2015年做出更多决定.

特洛伊: What other changes on the site you think you might make for the 2015 season?

科里:是啊. Distribution is a big thing we're talking about so I've mentioned 连接电视. 我已经提到了桌面和移动设备. We're fully distributed on most of those platforms, but 连接电视 in terms of consumption like I shared in the keynote, it's over 50 percent of our minutes consumed. 显然,拜访的次数要少得多. The visits are longer in duration and that is a huge number for us. 更多的 than 50 percent of our minutes consumed on 连接电视. 这对于进入2014年的我们来说是相当大的惊喜,所以这是我们2015年工作的重要组成部分.

How do we get where the users are right now, 无论是因为我们每天都在变化而推出的新平台,还是那些已经存在但我们还没有涉足的平台? 我们正致力于分销,特别是考虑到消费的联网电视.

特洛伊非常感谢你参加我们的节目. 你的主题演讲很精彩. 你可以在这个网站的其他地方看到. This is 特洛伊德雷尔 coming to you from 流媒体 West.
