COVID-19 Impact on Entertainment

COVID-19 is having a clear and direct impact on the entertainment and media industries, driven by investor uncertainty – resulting in plummeting share prices – and restrictions on movement of people leading to quickly-transforming consumer behaviour patterns.

At this time the questions you must ask yourself are: does your business have the right strategies to weather current market conditions? Should you prioritise particular territories? What content is relevant to your consumers at this challenging time? What are the available opportunities now, and after the pandemic?

In our webinar on April 15th, MIDiA presented some of our latest research findings on COVID-19 impact, plus a panel discussion on how consumer lockdowns have impacted media consumption, who the market winners and losers are, and what the likely long-term effects will be.

To help you navigate through these unprecedented times, MIDiA has created plenty of free resources and put together a special, heavily discounted, 3- month COVID-19 subscription package for smaller media companies. Whether you operate in television and video, games, sports or music, we have a package tailored for you.
