These services represent a rich research context to examine users’ brand perception of novel media products.

The model is applied to both services in a quantitative online survey (N = 1267). Overall, the results indicate a more favourably media brand perception of Netflix compared to Amazon Prime Video. Findings are discussed with regard to media brand theory and implications for media companies and potentials for future media brand research are outlined.
