Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Use of machine learning (Contextual Bandits) to dynamically select which thumbnail image to show a user for a specific title, based on their viewing history (e.g., showing a romance scene vs. an explosion).

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"The gold standard in personalization. It recognizes that the 'packaging' matters as much as the product. By algorithmically A/B testing artwork at the individual user level, they maximize the play-rate of their catalog."

warning The Challenge

With thousands of titles, users spend seconds scanning. A single static image can't appeal to everyone—a sci-fi fan might click for a robot image, while a drama fan might click for the actor's face. Using one image for everyone left potential views on the table.

psychology The Solution

Developed an algorithm that selects the artwork from a pool of images for each title. If a user watches a lot of Uma Thurman movies, 'Pulp Fiction' will show her face. If they watch John Travolta, it shows him. The system learns in real-time using 'Contextual Bandits' to balance exploring new images vs. exploiting the best-performing ones.
