🔎 Media companies are seeking new, innovative ways to engage with audiences—and they aren't alone. While consumer brands have a history of Hollywood cameos through strategic ads and product placement, in 2024 the script is being flipped. Rather than bringing their product to films, consumer brands are taking production into their own hands. Starbucks has launched Starbucks Studios in partnership with Sugar23 to produce original content. Fashion giants Saint Laurent and LVMH have also entered film production, with Saint Laurent debuting at the Cannes Film Festival 2024 and LVMH exploring opportunities for brands like Dior and Louis Vuitton. 🎥 AB InBev and Mailchimp are similarly investing in media projects to leverage storytelling for enhanced consumer engagement and loyalty. In a similar fashion, Walmart has released Walmart Realm, an influencer-driven virtual shopping world, showcasing how brands are innovating to connect with consumers in new and immersive ways. #MediaInnovation #ExperientialEntertainment #BrandStrategy #ConsumerEngagement

💡 Netflix Experiments with Experience in 2025 Netflix is set to open Netflix House in Dallas, TX, and King of Prussia, PA, in 2025. These 100,000+ sq. ft. venues will offer immersive experiences based on popular shows, along with themed retail and dining. This innovative venture offers an interesting response to a steady decline in movie theater attendance, with U.S. ticket sales dropping 38% in the last decade (per The Numbers). Netflix House looks to fill this brick-and-mortar gap in media by providing a space for fans to experience their favorite content in new, engaging ways. As streaming explores novel formats like VR and gaming, Netflix House represents an intriguing experiment in media consumption. #Netflix #EntertainmentIndustry #ExperientialEntertainment #MediaInnovation #IndustryTrends

📈 Streaming History in the Making In Q4 2023, the streaming industry reached a significant milestone: for the first time, over half (51%) of new streaming subscribers in the US opted for ad-supported tiers, according to Antenna. By Q1 2024, this number grew to 56%, revealing a clear trend towards the acceptance of advertisements in exchange for lower subscription costs.
