NEW YORK, NY, June 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PeerLogix, Inc. (the "Company") (“We”) (OTCQB: LOGX), the established standard for tracking non-subscription based Over-the-Top (“OTT”) viewership data, today announced it has teamed up with Concave Brand Tracking (“Concave”) to analyze added product placement value of top box office films of 2017. Concave is a London based market research company which tracks and analyzes brands in entertainment content to account for quality of product exposure, demographics of viewers and other inputs to determine total value.
The US marketplace for product placement is poised to break $10 billion for the first time this year, up from $8.78 billion in 2017, according to media industry economist PQ Media. OTT video is the fastest growing segment for product placement, including original programming on Netflix and Amazon Prime – with neither platform supporting conventional advertising.
The top-5 movies for product placement exposure in 2017 generated over $350 million of value for brands according to Concave. PeerLogix measures incremental OTT streaming viewership of shows and movies and found $41 million worth of additional product placement exposure value across OTT streaming viewership. Notably, Under Armour, featured prominently in Fate of the Furious, was found to have received over $1M of free incremental product placement value due to added exposure to OTT audiences. Chevrolet in Transformers: The Last Knight received over $800k of added product placement value.
The fractionization of viewership across a plethora of streaming OTT services is led by viewers moving to video-on-demand (VOD) and ad-free streaming platforms featuring limited or no advertisements. This shift in consumer preference has resulted in better viewership experiences for consumers but new challenges for advertisers.
“We are quantifying the incremental OTT viewership occurring globally and making these insights available to movie and television producers to help maximize content revenue.” Said Ray Colwell, CEO of PeerLogix. “Traditional ad supported content models are quickly being replaced with subscription models. Helping size the entire marketplace for OTT content ensures content producers have the ability to capture the revenue they need so they can continue to produce award winning content.”
