Stan CEO Mike Sneesby has said the streaming platform’s three months free trial offer is seeing a 75% conversion into paying subscribers.

The comments come as Stan reveals its commitment to Australian content with four new TV series in development – Merchants of Misery, The Other Guy, All Thumbs and Chaperones – to complement a second season of Stan’s first Originals series No Activity.

Speaking with Mumbrella, Sneesby said Stan uses the active subscriber figure as a benchmark, with the company citing the 1.2m users who have subscribed, and input their credit card details, since the launch of the platform.
