Why is this work relevant for Innovation?
At the core of the idea is the world’s first ever-changing price for a streaming service—and it was all possible through the creative and unexpected use of data. Data, that we gathered from the competitors, laid the foundation for the whole campaign and the price itself.
Background
Today, people watch more movies than ever before. There are more streaming services, more subscriptions, and more content. Unfortunately, quality often comes as the expense of quantity. Draken Film, Sweden’s leading streaming service for quality cinema, wanted to do something about it and help more people discover film outside the mainstream.
Describe the idea
To help more people to discover quality film, we created The Bad Movie Index - a constantly changing membership price on Draken Film that gets lower, the more bad movies people watch on the biggest platforms. On the website, everyone could easily follow the fluctuating index. We then spread our message with film, social, print, and PR, helping people across the globe to see the best time to invest in quality film (or not).
What were the key dates in the development process?
1 October 2021
Describe the innovation / technology
By using an API, we collected data from the streaming giants’ top lists in real-time. This was gathered from all major platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, HBO Max and Apple TV. We then calculated their ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, which set the ever-changing price. On the website, everyone could easily follow the fluctuating index. We then spread our message with film, social, print, and PR, helping people across the globe to see the best time to invest in quality film (or not).
Describe the expectations / outcome
The long-term expectations was to increase new memberships but also to strengthen Draken Films’ position as a champion and protector of high quality cinema. In a streaming world that is incredibly competitive with a few major big players (Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, HBO Max and Apple TV), the goal was to build a campaign around breath and diversity without being snobby and pretentious. The campaign went live October 1st, so there are no tangible results to mention yet. But Draken Film has received an 18% increase in memberships compared to last year. The purpose for this campaign was also long-term brand building and awareness for Draken Film, which the campaign has succeeded with so far as it has been covered in media, news and film forums worldwide.
