Simply.TV - The Global Metadata Leader - today announced its launch in the Australian, New Zealand, and LATAM markets after the recent success in Europe where more than 100 TV operators and broadcasters have teamed up for best-in-class EPG, super-aggregation of streaming catalogues as well as sports metadata. This move is part of Simply.TV's expansion strategy to offer global customers a one-stop shop but also to offer market-leading data solutions based on best editorial practices coupled with AI and ML to keep up with the rapid changes in the media and entertainment industry.
In line with this expansion, Simply.TV appointed Ernest Ng as the Senior Vice President for the ANZ markets, effective 3 July 2023. With his background as the former Regional Director at Gracenote, Ernest brings a wealth of expertise to his new role. Ernest will be based in Sydney, Australia and will work alongside the executive team of Simply.TV. He will be leading the commercial client and partnership relationships in the region.
“Ernest’s extensive experience from TV operators, combined with his thought leadership, perfectly aligns with Simply.TV’s vision and ambitions. His long-term strategic vision of building out the region and his customer-obsessed passion for delivering a customer experience and value creation is fundamental to how we operate at Simply.TV. With the current market situation, we are eager to bring quality through direct integrations with broadcasters, streaming services and other third parties”, stated Simply.TV's COO, Daniel Rühmann.
Ernest said it is a combination of the local APAC and ANZ market focus in metadata and the benefits many of his former and potential clients will get from Simply TV's advanced AI and ML technologies that let him accept this new position. “I was immediately captivated by the flexibility and robustness of Simply.TV's metadata platform. After years of working with metadata, I recognize that Simply.TV's market-disrupting offerings fulfill a long-standing demand from operators and broadcasters – now we are ready to support their product execution”.
The Simply.TV team and Ernest will attend the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam from 15 September to 18 September 2023. They will be located on booth number 5.H37. If you like to meet the team, please email hi@simply.tv.
