Deep dives

Shift from scaled media plays to niche media

One of the main trends in the media landscape this year was the shift away from scaled media plays to more niche and franchiseable media. Companies that were heavily reliant on social platforms for traffic and ad revenue saw a decline in audience and revenue from those platforms. This led to a reevaluation of strategies, with a focus on creating unique and niche media assets rather than striving for scale. This trend was observed more prominently in the digital media space, while in TV and streaming, scale still remained important for ad-supported services.
