Active audience growth by 4 times

The active audience has quadrupled due to connections and the massive transition of Rostelecom interactive television subscribers to the Wink platform (more than 70% of subscribers have migrated to February 2021).

The conditions for growth were the isolation of people at home due to the pandemic and the company's active position during this period. Wink has opened free access to a large collection of domestic and foreign films, TV shows, cartoons and educational video content. At the same time, the demand for paid films and TV shows increased. As a result, the number of movie and TV shows (paid and free) has tripled compared to 2019.

Wink has become a platform where the top 10 premieres of Russian films (by the number of viewers) of 2020 are fully available.

In 2020, the portfolio of TV channels has already exceeded 400 titles, including HD and 4K formats. Offers appeared in various segments: from a specialized channel for golf lovers to the Mosfilm channel. Golden Collection "with a rich library of your favorite Soviet and Russian cinema.

The "Viewing Management" service has grown in popularity, which provides access to the archive of programs on most channels (up to seven days) and the "pause" and "rewind" functions. By the end of 2020, more than 70% of Wink subscribers used the service. The share of customers who regularly use the Multiscreen service increased to 25%. It allows you to watch content on different devices under the same account (smartphone, tablet, laptop, Smart TV and others).

A popular event of the year in the Wink video service was the live broadcast on October 24 of the last fight of Khabib Nurmagomedov on UFC TV. In total, the battle was watched by more than 3 million users, including more than 1 million - through Wink digital applications. And in the spring, viewers actively watched the broadcasts of the Wink Live project - online concerts of Russian rock and pop stars.

Research on customer preferences helped Wink implement a different approach to forming subscriptions. The Transformer design tariff was launched, which can be independently formed from your favorite channels, films and TV series. You can change the composition of the subscription every month, adapting it to the current preferences of the family. In just six months since its launch, the Transformer subscription has come out on top in popularity among Wink users.

In addition to TV channels and a large library of films, TV series and cartoons, additional entertainment content has appeared in Wink. For example, audiobooks became available (in partnership with Litres), a package offer appeared - an audiobook plus a film adaptation of the work.

Implementation of Content Sales Advertising Model

On December 18, 2020, Rostelecom announced that, together with EVEREST, the sales house of the National Media Group (NMG), had entered into cooperation agreements to introduce an advertising model for the sale of content (AVOD1) in the Wink video service. For advertisers, this is access to an attractive audience with which you can build advertising communications based on data on the preferences and interests of viewers.

For our video service, the introduction of AVOD is a way to attract an audience that loves cinema, but is not yet ready to pay for content. If customers are ready to spend a few minutes watching ads instead of living money, then they should have such an opportunity in Wink. Advertisers, in turn, get the opportunity to find the audience they need, even some kind of microsegment. Our competitive advantage is that we operate not only with socio-demographic characteristics of the audience, but also with their binding to interests based on the history of TV and film viewing. Brands can build a smart advertising dialogue taking into account the hobbies of the viewer, increasing the effectiveness of their campaigns, - said Diana Samoshkina, vice president for work with the mass segment of Rostelecom.

Using the AVOD model in Wink, you can watch more than 20 thousand films and episodes of TV series. For December 2020, the advertising model is available in the interface of the Wink IPTV set-top box, and in the first quarter of 2021 it will appear in OTT solutions (mobile applications, wink.rt.ru website, Smart TV). On the card of a film or series, the user sees all options for paying for content (subscriptions, rent, purchase, advertising model) and can choose the best option for himself. Previously, the Wink video service offered only paid models of access to content. However, there are still a large number of users who agree to watch ads instead of buying a movie.

Important advantages when choosing the EVEREST agency as a partner were the extensive experience and expertise in this segment of media selling, the proposal of the project scheme and the implementation of a similar solution within the NMG ecosystem.

The partnership with Rostelecom takes our business offer to a different level: licensed content and a high-quality audience of the Wink video service provides a significant expansion of the inventory and capabilities of sales house customers' EVEREST '. This makes our product even more in demand and meets the main request of our advertisers - audience engagement in all environments (IPTV, Smart TV, desktop and mobile). Having successful experience, we can guarantee our clients an up-to-date and high-quality advertising product, and a partner - smart and effective monetization, - said Carolina Sokolova, General Director of the EVEREST sales house.
