Long before BritBox was streaming much loved shows to audiences around the world, they came to Pickaxe with an idea for their new streaming service. They were looking for an experienced team to help them launch a direct-to-consumer business in the US and needed some help taking the idea from concept to launch.
After launching, BritBox then wanted to improve how they collect data, and especially how they identify which customers were their best, what content drives the most acquisition and retention, and what marketing channels delivered the highest quality subscribers in order to optimize their marketing and accelerate growth.
As BritBox continued to expand into new countries, they outgrew their analytics solution and needed to improve data collection across multiple platforms and many billing providers, including syndicated and direct billing revenue streams.

After a successful launch, Britbox exceeded all company targets and, according to Parks Associates OTT tracker, remains the fastest-growing targeted standalone SVOD service to have launched within the last three years, now having over 1.2 million subscribers in the US alone. And Britbox UK hit its target of over 500k+ subscribers in just a few short months.

Four years later, the Pickaxe solutions have continued to scale with Britbox’s business across multiple regions, and a massive influx of new users
