Future-proof advertising sales

The global advertising market has certainly experienced plenty of disruptions over the years that have made their marks—some of them lasting—on advertising spend and placement.

The most recent disruption—COVID-19 and the resulting economic crisis—has created extremely turbulent and challenging advertising dynamics for global broadcasters, media firms, and telcos that’s hammering ad spending in the near term while accelerating some of the trends that have been unfolding across the industry for years (principally, the ongoing shift to digital).

But in the current crisis there’s opportunity for companies that seize the moment to transform their ad sales organization. By infusing automated, AI-driven processes and workflows, new skills and incentive systems, easy-to-interpret enterprise data, and holistic visibility of inventory and forecasts, media companies can achieve true “media-tech” status and be better positioned to grow as ad spending recovers.

A plan for the Media & Entertainment Industry

The value of a platform in media & entertainment

In 2019, for the first time, consumers spent more time on digital media than on any other format. To compete, and win, in this massively disrupted landscape, traditional media and entertainment businesses need to transform on three critical fronts:

Establishing direct customer channels

Develop a direct relationship with end customers, as traditional wholesalers are now positioned to become retailers through platform enablement.

Becoming an intelligent enterprise

Shift value to creators based on customer engagement and become a more intelligent enterprise to extend customer lifetime value.

Expanding monetization

Expand monetization beyond subscription, taking into account the long-tail opportunity of the digital economy as a lever for unleashing trapped value.
