The Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS), has increased its reach across social media exponentially in the past year by capitalizing on the growing digital video demand in Asia. Thai PBS has achieved over 730 million social video views in 2018 to date, an increase of over 100 million from 2017.

 

The broadcaster has partnered with Grabyo, the market-leading cloud-based video production platform and has been able to create and distribute real-time video clips and produce live streams delivered directly to an array of social, mobile and web-based platforms.  It has been able to receive up to eight million views on a single clip.

 

Consuming video on digital platforms, especially on mobile devices has grown ten-fold in Thailand.  It’s a country that ranks in the world’s top 10 for social media usage, with video among 18-29 year olds becoming even more popular with the growth of entertainment and live content the topic most talked about.  Digital video viewers across the country are watching content for longer periods than ever before and the growth Thai PBS has achieved highlights how the broadcaster is creating and delivering video content exactly how and when digital consumers want it.
