High costs associated with creating program assets mean that production teams are looking to gain maximum exposure from the content they create to generate the greatest return on their investment and promote their sports as far as possible. This case study looks at how WTA Media's broadcast partners can now access a huge range of supporting content to augment their live and near-live broadcast programming through Imagen's feature-rich, self-serve video portal. This one-stop shop' delivers a combination of free and restricted access to exclusive interviews, player profiles, shoulder programming and tournament information. Usage analytics provides insight into engagement levels and helps WTA Media plan more effective content for future tournaments.
