Media

The rapid evolution of technology has transformed media and entertainment into an experience-led industry. This has resulted in a flood of new channels, platforms and experiences, all of which have to be constantly fed with compelling, quality content. There has also been an increase in mergers and acquisitions, as big companies expand and new spin-offs spring from established businesses. Hence we could say that there is perhaps no other industry that has seen as much change over the past two decades as the media sector. The advent of digital media, social media, user-produced content, and mobile platforms has revolutionized the way the sector operates. Public consumption of physical and digital content and media has changed, bringing with it a host of challenges and opportunities.

How Can we Help? We have been working with businesses to address both the challenges and opportunities presented by digital transformation, assisting them shift from traditional business models to businesses, brands and revenue streams that leverage digital content and platforms.
