Around the world, viewers are consuming more and more digital video content on laptops, mobile phones, tablets, gaming consoles, and connected televisions. As a server of such content, you need to learn about your digital audience to better understand audience behavior and consumption patterns, so you can act on these insights to grow your business. There are three key dimensions that impact your audience: content, packaging, and quality. A deep understanding of what drives viewer engagement can help you determine how content should be produced, packaged, monetized, and delivered to ensure maximum audience engagement.

​Akamai​ Media Analytics is a comprehensive software as a service (SaaS) video analytics solution designed to highlight key drivers of audience behavior and power digital media business decisions.
