“Minerva 10 beautifully integrates with our UX automation APIs to give Cablevisión Flow an intelligent UI that reacts to user’s behavior and puts relevant content in the very first screen. The need for scrolling and browsing is minimized. Cablevisión understands that populating the screen with what’s relevant for each user leads to a shorter time-to-content, a stable frequency of return and ultimately to a higher subscriber retention. Our audience models based on machine learning also help CVA editorial and marketing teams to make better content curation and promotion decisions, leading to a powerful blend of algorithmic ranking and business priorities.”
