Sky Switzerland wanted to compare the solutions available on the market to see which one would perform best in this kind of situations. The goal here was to take recommendation as an opportunity to keep Game of Thrones (GOT) fans engaged on their platform.
The first step was to integrate Spideo’s recommendations for related content. Content-to-Content recommendations were made directly available on the TV Show page. At the bottom of the GOT page, recommendations were displayed to users as multifaceted suggestions sorted out by semantic categories. For example, thematically organized recommendations included content playlists like:
-“Stories about Royalty”,
-“Legendary Creatures”,
-or “Suspense & Heroic Fantasy”.
The second step was to improve the user experience with profile-based recommendations. Spideo provided automated and personalized recommendations to make sure that the “Recommended for you” rail displayed on top of the home page was relevant for each individual subscriber. This required careful integration so that all past interactions could be taken into account while delivering results within short response time (below 300ms).
