Perspectives from
the 2019 Outlook
PwC | Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 4
Getting personal: Putting the me in entertainment and media
• The rise of increasingly personal and personalized
media interactions, as today’s consumers—eager,
highly selective, and voracious—seize the
opportunity to enjoy media experiences uniquely
tailored to their own preferences, contexts, and
schedules
• Consumers are using an expanded array of
connected devices to organize, curate and
discover their own unique world of media. In
response, companies are tailoring their offerings to
revolve around personal preferences, using data and
usage patterns to pitch their products not at
audiences of billions, but separately at billions of
individuals
• The increasingly individualized world brings major
implications for every E&M business across every
segment
