The media & entertainment industry is changing rapidly, driven by digital technologies and evolving consumer behaviour. With the huge shift of global media spending from traditional channels and affiliate networks to direct-to-consumer digital platforms, content is becoming increasingly difficult to monetise and audience loyalty hard to win. AI is shaping demand. The winners will be those who know their consumers and can anticipate and satisfy this demand.
