How Arabic-Media.com Enhanced User Engagement Through Snowflake and Alive Technolabs

In today’s fast-paced digital world, personalization is no longer optional—it’s essential. Media and entertainment companies constantly face the challenge of keeping audiences engaged with relevant, real-time content. A recent success story from Alive Technolabs illustrates how arabic-media.com, a leading Arabic digital media platform, made great strides by utilizing Snowflake’s Data Cloud to deliver personalized experiences at scale.

The Challenge: Fragmented Data and Limited Personalization

Arabic-media.com serves millions of monthly active users, generating vast amounts of data from sources such as web and mobile clickstreams, subscription and CRM systems, and third-party advertising and engagement platforms. Yet, their outdated data systems created numerous hurdles:

• Data Silos: The lack of a centralized view made it difficult to understand individual user journeys. For instance, without a unified profile, personalized content suggestions were often hit or miss, underlining the need for an integrated approach.

  
  

• Slow Analytics: Gathering insights took too long, hindering the ability to provide real-time personalization. In a survey, 65% of marketers reported that slow data access limits their ability to personalize content effectively.

  
  

• Scalability Issues: Performance bottlenecks during peak traffic periods frustrated users. For example, during peak hours, the platform would experience up to a 30% slowdown, affecting user satisfaction and engagement.

  
  

• Limited AI/ML Integration: These challenges kept them from building smarter recommendation models, meaning they missed opportunities to deliver relevant content promptly.

  
  

To overcome these obstacles, they needed a robust, scalable, and intelligent data platform.
