These days, users want their media to be everywhere and anywhere, effortlessly available, and seamlessly integrated into their lives – this much is a given. Consumers expect their favorite shows, playlists, or music to be just a tap or swipe away, readily available to provide them with an uninterrupted audio experience that follows them seamlessly around the house.

The big challenge for companies striving to stay ahead isn’t only developing the coolest hardware, gadgets, or services, but also designing experiences that people can use naturally, without a second thought.

According to a PwC report, 73% of consumers say that having a memorable positive experience with a brand or product is a key factor driving their purchasing decisions, ranking higher than cost and quality, and 43% would consider paying more for more convenient experiences (Experience Is Everything, 2020).

For Device Makers: Creating a Little Magic in Every Room

For those in the business of building devices, you’re already aware that great technology goes beyond specs and features. It needs to shine in the small moments. You know, like when someone hears their favorite song playing in harmony throughout their apartment. You want people to look at your device every day and be glad they brought it home.

Think about offering your customers a multi-room audio experience that flows smoothly from space to space, or synchronized playback that turns their home into a mini-concert hall.

And if you could help to cut through the so-called “app overload” that adds friction to your customers’ daily routines (How Companies Can Prevent App Overload From Stalling Operations And Productivity, Forbes, 2023)? That’s another reason for users to choose your brand.

How Cinemo Can Enhance Your Devices

The Cinemo Cloud Ecosystem is designed to help you achieve all of this while keeping costs, resources, and maintenance efforts low, even after production:

  • Innovation for added value: Your devices are boosted with new features and new certified content providers that your customers didn’t even know they wanted. This gives people a reason to stay engaged with your product long after they’ve brought it home.
  • Minimal development efforts: Advanced playback features like multi-room, synchronized playback, and stereo pairing are integrated with minimal development efforts, reducing the workload on your internal teams.
  • Automatic updates: Thanks to Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, your devices will always offer the latest technologies with no interruptions to your operations.
  • Custom content services assignment: Content services can be determined by country, product positioning, or technical specifications.  

Another bonus? Cinemo’s open ecosystem is incredibly flexible. You’re not locked into one way of doing things. Whether you want Cinemo to be the main middleware in your devices or just one part of a larger solution, it’s up to you. This way, you can keep your brand identity strong while still offering a media experience that really delivers.

For Content Providers: Getting More Reach with Less Effort

If you’re a content services provider, your main goal is probably pretty simple: get your media into the hands of as many people as possible. But the behind-the-scenes stuff, like certifications and keeping up with device compatibility, can slow down your growth.

Once you integrate your audio streaming service with Cinemo, you get immediate access to a whole ecosystem. Imagine the potential: your content flowing seamlessly to any Cinemo-enabled device, no matter their brand, from home to commercial audio speakers. One integration, and your reach increases massively, with these benefits to boot:

  • Effortless growth: Your media becomes instantly compatible with a wide range of devices, eliminating the need for time-consuming individual certifications or device-specific adjustments.
  • Convenience: With Cinemo, you don’t need to maintain compatibility with every new device that hits the market. Our solution handles that complexity for you, allowing your team to focus on content rather than ongoing technical updates.
  • Total control: Cinemo’s automatic updates ensure your content remains fresh and functional across all devices. From adjusting API settings to updating content permissions, our Partner Portal gives you control over where your content is distributed without requiring additional resources or delays.

And as a GDPR-compliant provider, we ensure that both user data and your content are handled with the highest standards of privacy and security. This gives you the peace of mind to focus on what matters most—delivering great experiences to your users.
