It’s fascinating to explore and understand how consumers think, feel and behave when interacting with their TV subscription services.

In a recent consumer study, we discovered that brands and subscribers behave like they are in a romantic relationship – albeit a toxic one.

Our research, conducted with Psychologists, revealed how brands display narcissistic traits that turn subscribers off, and fail to connect emotionally with their customers while still expecting commitment in return. It’s clear that many brands are missing opportunities to build a happy, loyal customer base.
