EYnovation™ Business Models in Media and Publishing – Who will pay the bill…
This In the Spotlight will set the context for a wider industry discussion. It will look at how consumer expectations continue to change, how they are using technology, what they value and are willing to pay for. We will also look at what frustrates consumers. As well as consumers we will explore the expectations of advertisers, discussing their use of technology and issues such as trust and how it drives long term value. In covering consumer and advertiser expectations, we will share latest EY insights including examples of how we see companies and markets responding.
- Changes in reading habits and the shift toward digital media and e-solutions have significantly reduced the demand for print and the revenue from paper-based advertising.
- The emergence of new technologies enables closer relationships with customers and creates more value through enhanced experiences.
- According to imec’s digimeter, among 15-19 year olds, the smartphone has increased its lead on the TV set as the main screen for video content.
- These trends raise a lot of questions for publishers of all kind of media:
- What do consumers value and are willing to pay for today?
- How can publishers improve the way they get content to customers and the guarantee that it is seen by a person and not a bot?
- How do publishers address the challenges related to trust in a world of fake news?
