Meeting the Demands of Today’s Media Consumers

So, What Exactly Does the Future of Media Look Like? Most of us will have heard Dame Helen Mirren criticise Netflix and its impact on cinema audiences. Cinema attendances don't tend to support this claim, but arguably it is television audiences who are more likely to be affected and influenced by streaming services and new platforms for screen content- meaning owners, producers, distributers, broadcasters, advertisers and brands have to constantly diversify their models to meet these new consumer demands. This exciting panel session will discuss the challenges faced by content creators and distributors, look at what customers want to see and how do they want to see it, and offer an insight into how broadcasters and brands are moving to meet these changing demands. Essentially, who is buying what - and where and how are they buying it?
