GHJ hosted its 3rd Annual Entertainment and Media Forum, “The Shake Up of New Media: A Seismic Shift in Content Consumption,” on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015, at Tiato in Santa Monica. The Forum focused on the future of multi-channel networks, content production and advertising. Event discussions centered around how online content is creating new streams of revenue for both advertisers and content producers, the shift to de-bundling content to meet consumer demands, how technology is changing the entertainment and new media landscape and more.
The event featured a panel of industry leaders including moderator Peter Klass, senior manager at GHJ; daytime Emmy-winning actress Michelle Stafford (General Hospital, The Young and the Restless); Lindsay Conner, partner at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips and head of its motion picture, television and digital content practice group; Roberto Orci, CEO of Acento Advertising with more than 30 years in marketing and advertising experience throughout Mexico, Canada and the U.S.; and Brian Toombs, director of Strategy at Funny or Die, an Emmy-winning leader in comedy entertainment.As highlighted during the Fourm, nearly half of the surveyed industry respondents predicted that new media advertisers will look to product integration and placement as a top marketing strategy. Additionally, advertising will become further fragmented as new media marketers pursue increasingly narrow niches through mobile devices.More material from the Forum: AGENDA WHITEPAPER BLOGS:
