The challenge

Client's Opportunity

Nova Plus had a solid foundation as a local streaming platform with strong content and a loyal viewer base. However, there was a clear opportunity to take it to the next level by addressing several areas for growth:

  • Unifying two existing platforms to streamline user journeys and centralize data tracking
  • Modernizing the user experience, particularly on mobile and smart devices, to align with evolving viewer habits
  • Introducing personalization features such as content recommendations and user profiles to deepen engagement
  • Improving content discoverability through better navigation and visual presentation
  • Enhancing monetization potential and giving editorial teams greater control with more intuitive tools

These areas offered an opportunity to position Nova Plus as a future-ready, user-first OTT platform built for the future of digital media.
