NETFLIX’S GLOBAL EFFORT
AN ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S STRATEGIES IN PERIPHERAL MARKETS
Keywords:
netflix, television flows, seriesAbstract
This article aims to discuss Netflix's expansion in peripheral markets, considering that in recent years the US company has invested in local productions. Considering the changes in the global flow of television products, we analyze the strategies used by the streaming service in Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea. It is observed that these territories are important regional markets and, therefore, the company applies several tactics: from partnerships with local broadcasters and subscription discounts, even producing series that focus on corruption or triggers nostalgic elements. In this process, Netflix is willing to challenge local media conglomerates.
