SESSION 2 – Digital Sports Media: Transforming the Broadcast Industry
11 March 2021 15:00 - 16:00 CET
New Streaming and Broadcast Strategies
Current trends and future strategies for broadcast have accelerated two-fold due to the impact of COVID and new tech dominating the scene. Though cable is insisting it will never go away, traditional consummation of sports is changing exponentially with content owners selling their rights to broadcasters, while growing revenue by connecting directly to a new generation of tech savvy audiences through subscription based streaming platforms offering personalised, added value content.
Where will this strategy lead and how does this model work? Will consumers ultimately be able to and indeed ready to pay for multi-packages to follow their favorite sports?
Speakers:
Will Godsiff, Senior Digital Strategist, SUNSET+VINE
Anna Lockwood, Head of Global Sales, TELSTRA BROADCAST SERVICES
Pedro Presa, Group Chief Direct to Consumer Officer, ELEVEN
David Jones, SPORTEL (Moderator)
