Holmes Media
Expert Consulting Solutions for Business Growth
Our Services
Holmes Media helps content owners launch, distribute, and scale FAST and AVOD businesses across the leading streaming platforms. Engagements range from end-to-end channel launch and ongoing management to distribution representation and strategic advisory support. The work spans platform strategy, vendor selection, content preparation, programming workflows, distribution negotiations, and growth planning—helping partners turn content libraries and brands into durable streaming businesses.
Holmes Media helps media companies evaluate where AI can create real value across content distribution and monetization. This includes assessing applications in content transformation for VR and animation, marketing automation, metadata and packaging, workflow automation, and other emerging use cases across the media stack. The focus is practical and commercial: identifying the right opportunities, avoiding distraction, and applying AI in ways that improve efficiency, expand reach, and protect content quality.
Holmes Media helps content owners grow revenue from existing streaming distribution by improving monetization strategy, advertising operations, partner mix, and day-to-day execution. The goal is to help partners turn audience growth into a stronger, more scalable advertising business across FAST, AVOD, and owned-and-operated platforms.
Boost is a monetization platform designed to help creators and emerging studios scale advertising revenue from growing streaming distribution. It connects inventory across FAST, AVOD, and owned platforms into a unified CTV advertising stack built around enterprise-grade ad technology, including FreeWheel, and integrated with major demand sources. Boost supports both direct-sold campaigns and programmatic demand while providing the advertiser-grade controls and measurement capabilities expected by premium buyers, including brand safety, fraud protection, invalid traffic monitoring, and performance measurement.
