Digital Transformation of the Media & Entertainment Industry

Editorial

Global internet traffic is expected to reach 5 zettabytes in 2022. If like me, you have a hard time picturing this volume just remember this is the equivalent of 40 GB per person and per month for 7 billion individuals or about 5 times the estimated number of grains of sand on all the world’s beaches. And 82% of this according to Cisco is video content with YouTube dwarfing all the other platforms.

The Media and Entertainment industry is a fascinating arena. Shall players go for content or pursue a platform model? Stay National or try to migrate to a global model? How to integrate a personalization dimension ? How to evolve from a Prime Time distribution model to compete with streaming giants ?

In this issue of This Week in Consulting, we explore how the media and entertainment industry is evolving and embracing digital while facing major strategic dilemmas. We also take a look at the key risks and challenges such as finding the right balance between personalization and privacy or building trust and fighting misinformation.

Enjoy the read. Feel free to comment. Would love to hear your views.
