This Brand Audit was developed for IMC 613 - Brand Equity Management at West Virginia University.
In the streaming video on demand industry, players in the space all bring different benefits to their subscribers and, instead of fighting to be the one that is chosen over the others, they often just need to fight for a seat at the table, or, more fittingly, a place on a viewer’s
devices. By leveraging the definition of Hulu, reinforcing the benefits of subscription, increasing interaction with its target market, and communicating future plans for the service, Hulu has very high potential to rightfully take their seat at the table and increase its market share amongst its competitors as consumers continue to subscribe to one, two, and three, or more streaming services. This brand audit will provide insight into how Hulu sees itself, how consumers see Hulu, and what is recommended to ensure that Hulu becomes at least one of the services that today’s on-demand
subscribers decide to pay for each month.
Streaming services are changing the face of entertainment. We asked consumers their opinions of, and visions of the future for, three leaders in the streaming space: Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix. Which do they prefer, and which do they think will have the biggest impact on the entertainment industry? Download the report to find out.
You'll learn:
- What streaming service consumers love most and why
- Key opportunities for each brand to get an edge on the competition
- The one factor that infuriates viewers above all else
- How consumers see these three services fitting into the future of entertainment
This is an hypothetical Digital Strategy for Netflix, the global TV content provider. This was an assignment for the Crash Course in Digital Strategy held by Julian Cole (BBH - NY).
In its third year, the programme seeks to identify how innovation is driving opportunities for content owners and service providers around the world as they face a disrupted market. The findings are based on extensive regional research conducted in Europe, North America, with a special focus on the United States, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Convergence leads to increased competiton for traditional broadcast TV as all content now migrated to connected TV-sets. Broadcasters need strong umbrella brands and monetize more self-produced content in a 3screen environment.

3. Executive Summary
• The strategic opportunity is to enter the Italian market with
possible $ 846m revenue by 2017
• We can grab this opportunity by considering competition
within the entire E&M category and differentiating our
product in order to better reach unmet consumer needs
• The strategic alternatives are: (1) entering the Italian
market with our efforts alone, (2) entering the Italian
market in partnership with a relevant Italian player, or (3)
entering the Italian market as a part of a wider European
strategy for the company
• We recommend to enter the Italian market in synergy with
Netflix European strategy because we can generate total
revenue $ 397m in 2 years and $ 846 by 2017
4. In Italy, in 2017, spending for Internet access
will have grown from € 7,3b to € 12b with
+10% year-on-year growth. Digital products
will be 31% of E&M total spending.

Implication: Internet access will drive consumers
demand and the entire category growth within 2017.

5. Italian E&M industry is risky on overall, with a medium-
low degree of market attractiveness.
Market Risk Attractiveness: Italian media
Forces Reasons Mitigating Factors
Italian Entertainment & Media industry
Rivalry
(MEDIUM)
Risk of triggering a price war among
competitors.
Focusing on add-on services
and premium prices.
Supplier Power
(HIGH)
Huge negotiation power for stars,
authors & agents; now they can skip
traditional intermediation and ask for
different revenue stream model.
Differentiating through
tailored services to suppliers
(e.g. multichannel
publishing).
New entrants
(MEDIUM)
Risk of product comoditization and/or
price war can let new player enter the
game.
Only big players with huge
technologic assets and
Government endorsement
can realistically enter the
market.
Substitute power
(HIGH)
Technological convergence brings all
entertainment consumes into a unique
device. All entertainment segments
compete for customers’ disposable
time. Piracy is a potential substitute.
In Italy technological
convergence is not
accomplished yet: first
mover will have huge
advantages.
Buyer Power
(MEDIUM)
Greater freedom of choice among
media.
Freedom always requires
sophisticated consumers.
6. We have high strengths and opportunities in Italy
Company & Competitive Position:
STRENGTH
Superior brand, offering &
positioning
Superior operations and
customer preferences insight
Superior organization agility &
HR management
OPPORTUNITY
An entire customer segment
up to now ignored
A legal full-service and tailor-
made product can compete
both with mass market home
video and piracy
WEAKNESSES
Not influential in Italian system
of regulations and
governmental authorizations
THREATS
Requirement of products
cultural adaptation in the
target market
Some major traditional
competitors are trying to
fill the gap
Implication: There are unmet customer needs; traditional
players didn’t fill the gap in order to protect their current
leadership position.
7. Considering Netflix not only as part of home video
segment but of E&M on overall, we might consider
investments for growth.

8. Consumer: Competitive Perceptual Position
In consumers’ mind, competition is not only within home video
players, but also involves broad- and narrowcast tv channels.
Home video
distributors
Warner Bros Universal Medusa Niche competitors
Segmentation
Adults 18-50, with a male skew. Younger people more skewed to lower
prices and purchases on mass markets.
Teenagers to adults (14-
45), with niche consume
patterns: science fiction,
Japanese anime etc.
Frame of reference
Distributors are not visible by themselves: its
product brand that drives the offer.
Same, but with slightly
more focus on Italian
production.
Collection. Doesn't
matter if they have
already a digital version.
Differentiation
A vast portfolio of titles leaded by brands (actors,
directors, series), with different price level.
Same, but with Italian
blockbuster successes
used as a vessil of
overall quality.
In-group and out-group
dynamics: followers are a
community.
Broadcast tv RAI Mediaset La7 Minor competitors
Segmentation
Potentially the widest audience possible: adults 19-
75, with a female skew. Both targeting exactly the
same audience. Losing teenagers on the way.
Adults 20-50, with a
slight male skew. For
newspaper and book
regular readers.
People 15-60, who use
these channel as a
second screen.
Frame of reference
The public free
broadcasting service.
The main private
broadcaster. In the last
30 years completetly
substituted RAI's role.
Quality entertainment &
news. Here's what public
opinion says.
My own local world on tv.
Differentiation
Supposed to provide
quality and
experimentation. Totally
disrupted.
On degree of visibility:
it's what is left of mass
communication in Italy
today.
On quality. On geographical basis.
9. Consumer: Competitive Perceptual Position
Pay tv Sky Mediaset Premium Fastweb TV Vodafone Infinity & similar
Segmentation
Adults 30-60, with a male
skew. Affluent, successful,
willing to pay for high quality
content.
Families with extended
consumes of broadcast tv
(especially Mediaset).
Families or adults with
extended consumes of
Internet bandwidth.
Mobile connectivity providers'
clients.
Frame of reference
Distinction. Broadcast tv is
cheap; narrowcasting is
something worth to pay for.
Undefined. Leveraging
Mediaset brand alone as a
differentiation factor is not
enough to trigger a frame of
reference.
All the content with my
Fastweb connection, the
fastest in the market.
Content I love right here
on my mobile device with
a little mark-up.
Differentiation
Premium price. Quality of
news (the only one with a
global focus).
Quality products from
Mediaset portfolio at a
premium price. Poor efficacy.
An add-on service for
Fastweb clients. A small
niche, but technologically
enabled.
An add-on service for mobile
device users, but 3G is not
quick enough yet and wifi not
so spreaded.
Digital terrestrial tv
(DDTV)
Cielo
Rai 4, Rai 5, RaiNews24 &
similar
Real Time & similar Boing & similar
Segmentation
Adults 18-50, with a female
skew.
Audience highly segmented
on the basis of content: Rai 4
for quality entertainment, Rai
5 for documentaries,
RaiNews24 for news etc.
Teenagers and adults, 15-45
years old with a female skew.
Children, teenagers and their
parents.
Frame of reference
A selection of unexclusive free
content form Sky payed
channel.
Audience deluded by Rai
broadcast tv can find refuge
here.
Reality-based entertainment:
low-cost reality shows, talents
etc.
Children entertainment.
Differentiation
Quality nonetheless, but on a
delayed time compared to
Sky.
It is where Rai experiments
and seeks for quality.
On the basis of content. On the basis of content.
10. Implications:
• For consumers market, what leads differentiation is not
driven by distribution channels, but product brands
(e.g. authors, actors, directors, movies, series etc.).
• Distributors credibility and differentiation is derived by
their brand portfolio.
Consumer: Competitive Perceptual Position
• Home video segment players are not differentiated per
se: it is their product brand portfolio that counts
• On broadcast side, the historical role of Rai as quality
content provider has been heavily disrupted in the last
25-30 years
• The unique leader of pay tv segment is Sky, while
Mediaset Premium failed to gain a real differentiation
• Fastweb and Vodafone are trying to leverage their tech
savvy niche consumers, but their content offer is
poor, not exclusive and narrow

Among all players, only six have a defined set of brand attributes.
Newcomers (Sky, Fastweb, Vodafone, La7 target specific segments of customers,
even though with different business models (e.g. subscription vs. advertising).
12. Consumer: Competitors Triage of Value
Mainstream media brands:
• In the last 25 years, RAI has lost its
differentiation, pointing to function,
emotion and experience at the same time
• Mediaset is not functional any longer,
after its prestiged anchorman Enrico
Mentana left the company to start a new
newscast up for La7
• Sky’s approach is the most focused on
functional benefits («the best newscast +
the greatest shows») and on watching
experience.

13. Consumer: Competitors Triage of Value
Target market media brands:
• La7 is a mainstream media, but it is
targeted on a narrow segment of Italian
population, more interested in the quality
of services.
• Fastweb’ communication is entirely
focused on fast traffic data stream (its
testimonial is the motorbike world
champion Valentino Rossi).
• Vodafone communication is centered on
consumers feelings and entertainment.

14. Consumer: Brand meaning map
A culture crisis implies media crisis: The traditional role of Rai and Mediaset as
mainstream cultural mediators has failed. This void has been only in part filled by
niche players such are now La7 and Sky.
Within the competitive scenario, only Rai, Mediaset, La7 and Sky have
successfully positioned as content providers, while the others (Fastweb,
Vodafone) are considered as technology add-on services.

From mainstream media to a scenario of mass fragmentation.
18. Italy is a highly regulated country, with a high degree of cultural
complexity and bureaucracy. However, there are conditions for a
warm reception of Netflix novelty.
• Opinion leaders: Media have already covered Netflix, with much
interest. Most intellectuals and opinion leaders are looking forward
to its arrival, since in Italy it is common sense that broadcast tv is
“cheap”.
• Policy makers: Mainstream media are heavily connected with
political power. It is unlikely for a newcomer to enter and disrupt the
market without assuring that the Italian media landscape won’t
change in its substance.
• Trade unions: Netflix HR standard policies are unlikely to be applied
in Italy, since labor market is heavily regulated.
• Digital divide: wifi, 3G and 4G are not as spread as in other Western
countries. So far, governments haven’t invested in it because they
conceived Internet as a disruptor for mainstream media landscape.
Centers of Influence & PESTLE
Italy is a high-context type of country: technology, current
policies and, most of all, culture are the main factors that make
investments in media sector so risky.
19. The strategic opportunity is to enter Italian E&M market in
order to gain by 2017 6m new subscribers and $ 846m
revenue in three years, with a contribution margin of
-39% in 2017 (a standard for a tree-year launch).
Strategic Opportunity
Vision To become the next global leader in E&M and TV industry
for the next decades.
Goals Leading the way in replacing globally the traditional
“linear TV” with multi-screen Internet TV.
Objectives Entering Italian market as a part of a strategy for
Western Continental Europe. More specifically for Italy:
In 2015,
achieve 1m subscriber with a total amount of $ 72m
revenue, reducing marketing expenses through
economies of scope.
In 2017,
achieve 6m subscribers and $ 846m revenue ($ 450 in
2017 only) with a -39% contribution margin.
20. Marketing Strategy
Competitive
advantage
Our competitive advantage lays
in our superior HR, our ability to
extract customer insight from raw
traffic data and our superior
brand.
Resource
strategy
In order to enter the Italian
market, which has a huge
potential but is also risky, we will
need to use our resources
(capital and labor), expecting
positive return in a 5-year time.
Degree of
intensity
The effort will have to be intense,
but since we have already
launched Netflix in other
countries in Western Europe and
we’re planning to do that in
others, we have chance to use
economies of scope.
Focus Our target is the Italian cultured
middle class at first, aiming to
extend to a larger audience
within 2017.
