ABOUT OKAST
MEDIA PEOPLE.
BUILT TO
DELIVER.
OKAST is the media services platform developed by MEI Group. We combine technology and media expertise to help you launch, operate, distribute and monetize your service.
WHY OKAST EXISTSEVERY STORY SHOULD
EVERY STORY SHOULD
FIND ITS AUDIENCE.
We come from television. We know that a strong programme can remain unseen because distribution is fragmented, operations are complex or the economics do not work at the scale of its publisher.
Our purpose is to close that gap. From an independent specialist service to a major broadcaster, every customer should be able to reach an audience, build a viable business model and rely on people who understand media.
FROM MEDIA DATA.
TO MEDIA SERVICES.
Our customers do not all need the same operation. They all deserve the same commitment.
We start with data
With FlameFy, we help media companies better understand and activate their audiences. Our company is supported by the TF1 and Audiens incubators as our ambition grows.
We launch OKAST
We create OKAST to make professional streaming accessible to media organisations of every size. Qwest TV becomes our first reference service.
Our first 150 OTT services
Two years after launch, we have already deployed 150 OTT services for media companies, content owners and specialist publishers.
FAST4EU expands our reach
We lead FAST4EU to help European content owners build channels, understand the FAST market and access new distribution opportunities.
