Media

Recommendation engines, audience scoring, and content systems. Attention turned into revenue.

We build the systems that personalize content, monetize audiences, and scale distribution.

Media companies compete on personalization, distribution speed, and monetization efficiency. We build recommendation engines that keep users watching, content management systems that scale, and ad tech that maximizes revenue per impression.

Why AI in Media is different.

Attention is the currency, and it is getting harder to earn. 80% of what people watch on streaming platforms comes from algorithmic recommendations. If your recommendation engine is generic, your catalog is invisible. Long-tail content sits unwatched while users churn because they cannot find what they want.

Content production costs keep climbing while audiences fragment across platforms. The media companies pulling ahead are using AI to reduce content localization costs by 40-60%, automate metadata tagging across petabyte-scale libraries, and personalize monetization strategies per user segment.

The technical challenge is unique: real-time recommendations at millions of concurrent users, rights management that varies by region and time window, and ad insertion that maximizes yield without degrading experience. This is not a generic ML problem. It requires media-specific infrastructure.

The Problems That Slow You Down

01

Content discovery is broken

Users scroll past 90% of your catalog. Recommendations show popular content, not relevant content. Long-tail inventory goes unwatched.

02

Content production can't keep up with demand

Audiences consume faster than teams can produce. Localization, formatting, and platform adaptation multiply the workload.

03

Ad monetization leaves money on the table

Fill rates, CPMs, and targeting are all suboptimal. Programmatic is set and forgotten, not continuously optimized.

04

Rights management is a legal minefield

Content rights vary by region, platform, and time window. One mistake means takedowns, fines, or worse.

These aren't pitch deck scenarios. Every use case maps to a system pattern we've built and deployed in production.

What We Build in Media

Content Recommendation Engine

CPO at OTT/streaming
Problem

Cold browse problem. Users churn when they don't find content fast. 80% of streams come from recs.

System

Hybrid recommender (matrix factorization + sequence transformers on viewing/metadata/context), powering home-screen rails.

80% of watch time from recommendations.

Dynamic Subscription Pricing

VP Growth
Problem

Fixed tiers leave money on table; churned users not targeted with optimal offers, ARPU stagnates.

System

Regression + RL on demographics, device, engagement, billing, producing willingness-to-pay estimates and individualized offers.

Improved free-to-paid conversion, maximized revenue.

Ad Inventory Targeting

Head of Ad Products
Problem

Broad campaigns waste impressions; under-deliver on CPM/CPC across OTT/CTV/digital.

System

Audience segmentation + uplift modeling on behavioral/demographic/contextual data, LLMs for copy variants.

Better ROAS, more efficient media buys.

Newsroom Content Copilot

Editor-in-Chief
Problem

Editorial teams spend hours on research, summaries, headlines, social copy, versioning.

System

LLM copilot drafts outlines, summaries, headlines, social, SEO metadata, localization, integrated with CMS.

Reduced creation time, more volume with same staff.

Automated Metadata Tagging

CTO
Problem

Petabytes of video/audio with inconsistent tags; editors waste time searching, content under-monetized.

System

Multimodal models (ASR, vision CNNs, LLMs) generate transcripts, detect faces/objects/scenes, assign standardized tags into MAM.

Significantly faster retrieval and asset reuse.

Rights & Contracts Document Agent

Head of Legal
Problem

Thousands of contracts with rights windows/obligations; manually checking what can show where/when is slow and risky.

System

LLM ingests rights agreements, extracts structured metadata (territories, languages, platforms, windows), natural-language queries.

Drastically reduced manual review, faster deal-making.

Audience Social Listening

VP Insights
Problem

Manual review of social/reviews/comments; no fast quantitative sentiment by show/genre/region.

System

NLP sentiment/topic modeling + clustering, LLM-generated insight summaries per segment.

Data-backed feedback loops for content and marketing decisions.

Building the system is half the job. Growing the business around it is the other half.
