The media arm of Saudi Arabian telco stc Group, Intigral, has selected the Think360 personalised content discovery and viewer engagement platform from Think Analytics to upgrade its stc tv and Jawwy TV streaming services.
The premium stc tv service features over 200 live channels as well as a very large SVOD and TVOD library. It runs on platforms including mobile, Android TV, set-top boxes, Samsung and LG smart TVs, Xbox, and Apple TV in stc Group territories (KSA, Kuwait and Bahrain). The Jawwy TV streaming service is available for consumers across the wider MENA region, outside of stc Group footprint.
Under the terms of the new deal, ThinkAnalytics is providing Intigral with a fully managed service running on AWS for, delivering personalised live TV, on-demand entertainment and sports content across multiple platforms and devices. Using Think360, Intigral will offer its subscribers across the region what it calls a “frictionless and innovative” way to discover content across services. Intigral’s entertainment library will be aggregated with content from regional and international partners for a seamless experience across all devices in multiple languages.
In addition to launching personalised user experiences that increase engagement on these services, Think360 will underpin Intigral’s Master Aggregation strategy to provide popular entertainment to its users from one destination.

Intigral will deploy the full suite of Think360 products available in the portfolio for both stc tv and Jawwy TV, including search and discovery, ThinkEditorial campaign management system, ThinkUX and ThinkInsight. With ThinkUX, the Intigral editorial team can select use cases to dynamically change the user experience across all devices. Intigral will use ThinkInsight to analyze large, complex data sets about viewing and content, and A/B testing, to better meet its business KPIs.
