In today’s digital landscape, video dominates attention but converting this into measurable sales remains a persistent challenge. In a recent interview on The Watchlist, Adrian Hargrave, CEO of SEEEN PLC (LSE:SEEN), outlined how their new strategic partnership with Tiger Tracks aims to change these dynamics, as well as how it will benefit both companies and their customers in the $150 billion Commerce Media marketplace.
Turning Viewers into Buyers
Video now accounts for roughly 80% of all digital traffic, yet only a small fraction, around 2%, translates into actual purchases. This disconnect represents a major inefficiency in digital marketing, where engagement does not necessarily equal revenue.
SEEEN’s collaboration with Tiger Tracks is designed to bridge that gap. By combining Tiger Tracks’ expertise in performance marketing with SEEEN’s proprietary interactive video technology, the partnership seeks to transform passive viewing into active shopping. According to Hargrave, SEEEN’s platform delivers click-through rates of approximately 9%, around ten times higher than typical in-video benchmarks.
This positions the partnership to tap into the rapidly growing commerce media and performance marketing sector, estimated to be worth between $150 billion and $180 billion globally.
The Data Advantage
While shoppable video is not a new concept, platforms like TikTok have already introduced basic features, the real competitive edge now lies in data.
Hargrave emphasized that SEEEN’s platform goes beyond simply identifying which videos drive conversions. It drills down further, pinpointing which specific moments within a video are responsible for driving engagement and purchases.
This granular insight feeds into SEEEN’s “video moments engine,” which helps brands refine their content strategies. By understanding exactly what works, and what doesn’t, marketers can produce more effective videos that are optimized for conversion.
Additionally, the platform is highly flexible. Brands can integrate SEEEN’s technology into existing video libraries without needing to create new content from scratch, making it both cost-effective and easy to adopt.
Scaling Growth and Monetization
From an investor perspective, scalability and monetization are critical. Hargrave highlighted that SEEEN is already experiencing strong momentum, having achieved over 50% revenue growth for two consecutive years. The company is currently operating at a run rate of approximately £6.8 million, up from £5 million the previous year.
The partnership with Tiger Tracks is expected to accelerate this growth by:
- Reselling SEEEN’s offering to extend its reach deeper into the e-commerce ecosystem
- Delivering higher-margin solutions
- Enhancing the overall value proposition for clients and shareholders
Even capturing a small share of the massive commerce media market could significantly scale SEEEN’s revenue and market presence.
A Strategic Step Forward
As brands increasingly demand measurable returns from their marketing spend, the integration of interactive video with performance marketing represents a natural evolution.
SEEEN PLC’s partnership with Tiger Tracks reflects a broader industry shift, from engagement-focused metrics to conversion-driven outcomes. By combining advanced data analytics with seamless video integration, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of this transformation.
If successful, this approach could redefine how brands leverage video, not just as a storytelling tool, but as a direct and measurable driver of sales.
