and are in high-traffic locations such as Sunset Boulevard in L.A., Times Square in New York, and the Trevi Fountain in Rome. One billboard was used to promote Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new show ‘Fubar’ on Netflix. Netflix marquee board Netflix marquee board “The point of the board is to have fun, be edgy, and push all the way to the edge,” Marian Lee Dicus, CMO of Netflix said. “I know it’s a lot of pressure because they have to come up with a new message every week, but if they’re just using it for something lame, I’d rather not do it.” Another example is the guerilla-style campaign the streaming giant ran on the back of the success of their show ‘Squid Game’. In one of the show’s episodes ‘Green Light, Red Light’ a giant doll appeared that resonated with audiences. Netflix used it to promote the show and create a buzz by placing installations of the doll in Australia, the Philippines, the USA, Korea, and England
. People were also invited to play games to win prizes and share pictures of the installation on social media to receive a WhatsApp Number “Squid Game”-themed gift.

The hashtag #squidgame has reached 82 billion views on TikTok. Customer data & personalization When it comes to data, Netflix knows what it’s doing. The streaming service collects a huge amount of data every day - and unlike many brands - puts every piece of information to use; to create a better customer journey, to create a content library that feels personal to a user. What’s important is how they analyze and measure their data.
Netflix appears to constantly learn from the information it gets and changes to drive better performance and make its content work harder. For example, before 2019, Netflix counted 70 percent completion of an episode or movie as a ‘view’, its main engagement metric. At the end of 2019, it changed a ‘view’ to ‘any watch time’ of two minutes or longer. In 2021, the metric changed again, moving away from the ‘number of views’ to ‘minutes watched’ as reported in Entrepreneur. Credited with introducing ‘binge watching’, Netflix uses clever tactics to keep subscribers on the service. They use auto-play so a new episode starts automatically without any clicking or action on the user's part. If a series or movie is finished, similar recommendations are offered to push people to watch something else.
