ThinkAnalytics and Gracenote are enabling TV providers to improve personalised video search and recommendations through a new solution that builds on each company’s core expertise.  ThinkAnalytics’  personalised images content recommendations algorithm built on advanced AI techniques and data science is integrated with Gracenote’s personalised imagery offering, which offers a differentiated set of images for each TV and movie title. With this combined offering, cable and satellite TV services and streaming platform customers have a new, easy-to-implement solution to optimise visual content merchandising and personalise the user experience.

This collaboration between ThinkAnalytics and Gracenote results in a powerful turnkey solution for video service providers to positively impact key consumption and engagement indicators. Independent testing of these targeted program images versus standard imagery has shown measurable increases in time spent watching content and number of titles watched.

Gracenote’s personalised imagery solution delivers a differentiated set of program images representing distinct aspects of an entertainment title with each individual image tagged with relevant Gracenote Video Descriptors and Celebrity IDs. The Gracenote metadata associated with the imagery is used by ThinkAnalytics’ advanced AI and machine learning algorithms built into its powerful content discovery platform to help surface the optimal image to each viewer based on preferences and history.
