50 VOD Professionals – our list of the 50 most influential people working in the UK’s video-on-demand and OTT industry – is back for 2022!

Nominations are now open and we’d like to hear from you about the brilliant people that power VOD services all over the UK: the designers who imagine your new OTT user interfaces, the developers who help bring them to life, the schedulers and managers who maintain the backends, the engineers that run your DAMs and MAMs, the researchers and analysts who model growth and customer retention, the marketers and PRs who promote your products, the monetisers who keep the revenue flowing and the vendors that supply expert knowledge and specialised solutions. And, of course, the leaders who captain your organisations. Tell us about them all!  

Here’s how the process works:

  • You can send us your nominations by completing the contact form here or by DM to Kauser Kanji on LinkedIn
  • Nominations will close at 5pm on Thursday the 26th of May
  • We’ll then convene our judging panel – all senior OTT people themselves – who will debate the merits of each nominee. Judging is done anonymously to help encourage open and honest debate
  • The final list of 50 VOD Professionals 2021 will be published in the w/c 6th June. 

Questions? Send them to us here.

And, as a reminder, here’s our final list from 2021 featuring A+E Networks, Amazon, Apple, the BBC, the BFI, BritBox, BT, DAZN, ITV, Netflix, the National Theatre, NBCU, NOW, the Royal Opera House and Sky.

Thanks!
