Case Study

Currently, Netflix has 500.000 weekly active users and baseline Show Watch Rate of 30,5%.

As a Product Manager for Growth at Netflix, I want to implement growth hacking tactics to improve one of their product metrics, Show Watch Rate, which means the percentage of users who open at least 1 show/movie to watch after starting a session on Netflix.

For this initiative, I will implement the HOOK Model to raise user engagement with Netflix content & implementing A/B Testing on the App Homepage to increase the Open Rate for movies and TV series.

SWOT Analysis

Strength:

Continuous investment can take effect on the recommendation engine, which means will be resulting a more personalized algorithm. In the future, this result will lead to an increase in the percentage of Show Watch Rate.

Weakness:

The personalized algorithm is only consumed by users that have been personalized. It’s caused by recommendation engines only taking the data from internal users.

Opportunity:

Utilizing users by giving friends activities like Spotify. Users can see what’s their friends activities from their home page and they can click on what movies or series their friends watch.

Threat:

If there’s no AHA Moment, it leads to a chance for users to leave Netflix and increases the percentage of churn rate. It’s caused by a personalized algorithm that only gives a little chance for users to get their AHA Moment.

Hypothesis

“If we build the “Friend Activity” feature, we will get our users to view movies or series descriptions and watch them based on what their friends are watching, which will increase Show Watch Rate by 5% because it’s more straightforward for users to watch another genre of movies or series”.

Friend Activity Feature

Concept:

Showing the movies or series has been watched by the user’s friends on the Netflix homepage. This concept is adapting to the “Friend Activity” feature on Spotify.

Proposed Feature

Feature Descriptions:

This feature is easy to see by Netflix users because it’s located on the homepage. This feature includes movies or series poster and title, friend’s name, and last time watched. Implementing this feature can help to increase our metrics, Show Watch Rate by 5%.

Flow Descriptions:

  1. Users will find Friend Activity on their homepage, specifically below the movies or series banner.
  2. When users click one of their Friend Activity cards, users will get Pop Up Movies or Series Information such as movies or series trailer, titles, duration, descriptions, play, download, add to ‘My List’, share, or close.
