Yahlive
Challenge
Acquiring Real-time Data & Analysis
With over 114 million viewers worldwide, Yahlive is considered one of the youngest and fastest growing satellite broadcasting companies in the region.
Yahlive's comprehensive marketingstrategy is led by industry expert & Marketing Manager, Duaa Zietoun.
From inception, Yahlive was competing against long-time players with a deep-rooted presence in the region, which required insightful data to be able to compete.
Manually tracking and staying up-to-date with the continuous industry changes was both tedious and costly.
In order to achieve continuous growth in viewership, Yahlive also needed to have direct access to a social listening platform to understand general opinion and sentiment surrounding their brand. Today, Yahlive is the number one satellite operator for the Farsi speaking market.
"It's now easier and faster for me to compile reports that I can present to management. I can also provide the business development team with the real-time data they need, rather than waiting for one or two weeks for updates from an agency."

Solution
A Central Platform with Analytics
Today, Yahlive uses the Meltwater platform which grants them direct access to real-time data from both social and online sources. As the end-user and Marketing Manager, Zietoun is now able to immediately alert the business development team of potential business opportunities (i.e. recently-available channels). Not only so, the wider Yahlive team is heavily reliant on the internal newsletter for the latest industry and competitor news.
Yahlive is able to make better, more informed decisions about new market expansions, using crucial insights provided by the Meltwater platform. Both Zietoun and the business development team consider the insights crucial to bringing in new business, by adding value to prospects and ultimately leading to a higher conversion rate. Overall, the marketing department has also been able to significantly reduce costs by eliminating the use of multiple 3rd party data providers, using Meltwater as a one-stop-shop solution for real-time data and analysis.
