The goal for Creative Innovation is to help make better promotional assets in conjunction with our creatives. We achieve this by delivering insights for all promotional assets on Netflix. We work closely with creatives, product, design and data scientists to understand what practices would help create an effective strategy for promotion ahead of launch as well as help analyze the efficacy of the strategy once a title is launched.

If you’ve ever watched a trailer for Netflix content on social media or seen clips play while browsing Netflix, you’ve experienced our impact. We enable the creation, localization, and review of clips and trailers at scale through a suite of applications that help manage millions of short videos.

Some of our key technical challenges include: automated assembly of promotional videos, adapting video to different formats and aspect ratios, and managing video files and their associated metadata.
