The Symptoms
Netflix is present in 190 countries with over 209 million members. Content is offered in over 30 languages, and the brand continues to explore the next language to launch. Despite this broad language offering, UK consumer appetite for non-English language titles has historically been low. How can Netflix create excitement for non-English language content amongst 18-34-year-old UK audiences, and leverage this as a conversation driver among fans of entertainment.
The Psychological Analysis
Although people might not open up to TV shows from another culture, food has no international barriers.
The Therapeutic Offering
By expanding not only the content but also the senses each international entertainment brings, Netflix uses its existing suggestion engine to bridge the UK audience with international content in the Netflix library.
