Enhancing Audience Engagement in the Media & Entertainment Industry with NetSuite CRM

Overview
About the Client
The client is a leading player in the Media & Entertainment industry, managing a dynamic mix of digital platforms, live events, and subscription-based content services. With a fast-growing audience and an ever-expanding content library, the organization required a robust solution to streamline customer relationship management, optimize media subscription management, and improve campaign performance tracking across multiple channels.
Challenges Faced
As operations expanded, the client struggled with multiple challenges that hindered growth and customer engagement:
- Fragmented Audience Data: Customer and subscriber data were scattered across various systems, making it difficult to offer personalized experiences through a unified CRM.
- Inefficient Campaign Management: Marketing lacked automation and insight, slowing down outreach and limiting success with media campaign performance tracking.
- Subscription Churn: With minimal visibility into subscriber behavior, retention efforts were reactive rather than proactive.
- Manual Sales Processes: The sales team relied on spreadsheets to manage advertiser relationships and media deals, increasing error rates and slowing sales cycles.
