Case Study: Acorn TV increases subscribers 400% in two years with Brightcove

Acorn TV Records 400% Increase in Subscriber Growth Over Two Years to Its OTT Service

Acorn TV, a niche subscription streaming service focused on premium British mysteries and dramas, needed a flexible way to deliver its content to a growing audience across many devices. As its OTT business expanded, Acorn TV also needed a scalable, reliable video platform that could support rapid growth and evolving viewing habits. Brightcove and its online video platform helped Acorn TV meet that challenge.

Brightcove implemented a scalable video solution that enabled Acorn TV to quickly add support for devices including smart TVs, mobile devices, tablets, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. The result was stronger reach and performance: Acorn TV grew to more than 250,000 paid subscribers, posted a 100% year-over-year subscriber increase, and increased subscribers by 400% in two years. Brightcove’s platform also helped Acorn TV improve margins and support further OTT expansion.
