Our take
The growing subscription economy has changed the relationships between brand and consumer, trending towards long-term deeper connections. Brands must know their subscribers and understand consumer trends. Antenna provides the data these companies need, empowering them to respond to what subscribers want.
Since the pandemic-born subscription boom, more and more brands are opting for the subscriber model, but they may lack important insight into the subscription economy. Antenna, which launched in 2020, provides predominantly streaming services with a broad contextual scope of the subscription market. Brands can use these insights to acquire, retain, and motivate subscribers even in a changing market.
Antenna raised $10 million in funding in 2022, with backers including UTA-Ventures. The company is using these funds to expand across the growing, diversified subscription economy.
