“The nirvana of personalization is knowing not only the ‘what’ in the viewer’s decision-making process but also the ‘why,'” said Christensen. “The combination of ThinkAnalytics’ suite of tools and our own real-time personalization capabilities will turbocharge our customers’ ability to gain deeper, more actionable insights into content that’s coming – and content that was missed – that matters to the viewer.”

“Keeping audiences engaged when there is so much competition for eyeballs requires the ability to anticipate each new step in the viewer’s decision matrix,” said Berger. “This partnership will help customers drive engagement by enabling more informed, real-time programming decisions that really resonate with viewers. ”
