Contents S.p.A: its history
Contents was founded in 2017 by Massimiliano Squillace, a tech and digital entrepreneur with a consolidated international experience.
The idea behind the platform is to make data analysis and content creation an intuitive and automated process, with the aim of improving content generation from big data. The system, based on the A.I. of Natural Language Generation, allows to obtain excellent contents without the need of human intervention.
The model proposed by Contents, which is simple but at the same time highly efficient, has meant that even large companies have relied on its technology. Its partners include Disney’s e-commerce, Booking.com, Amazon, Spotify, BMW, Microsoft and Yahoo.
Contents is also a producer and owns 18 international properties, including News.co.uk and Newz.com. Its magazines cover a wide range of topics, from technology and health to fashion and sport, as well as current affairs. This enables Contents to reach millions of users worldwide.
The Future of Digital Media
Contents was born and placed in the context of the Digital Media market. In 2020, this market had a market value of $254.8 billion. In detail, e-Publishing was valued at $24.8 billion. But growth expectations are also bright: it is thought that $414.2 billion in value could be reached in 2025.
A further increase in the digital media market is due to the use of artificial intelligence for content creation. AI will be able to better understand the user, recommending not what they have seen but what they liked, with a more targeted creation of content.
