In today’s Week In Review episode, Anand Gopal (COO) and Kavita Shenoy (CEO) talk about the ‘TikTok Boom’ (by Scott Galloway) and how it’s impacting the way we consume content and advertise. Kavita talks about how earlier the rags-to-riches story was commonly associated with a change in geographies.

Anand brings to light a recent conversation with Anil Karat (CTO Voiro) and how he pointed out that TikTok has unlocked a new pool of attention, with people watching TikToks in between meetings, during a commute, and even during a conversation. Everyone, from cable to print to digital to different apps is now competing for this same pool.

Anand also talked about the creation of subcultures and how that impacts the way we advertise. He quoted the example of Shaquille O'Neal and how his favourite music channel is WorldstarHipHop.

Peter Kafka’s recent episode from Recode Media was a point of conversation, where Anand and Kavita talked about ‘swapping cable dollars for digital pennies’ and Elon Musk taking over Twitter. They also touched upon how Warner Brothers offer a balance in the portfolio and have multiple tiers, proving them to be a stable ship that can weather the storm.

They also talked about the WSJ article ‘Disney Vows to Show Very Few Commercials on Ad-Supported Disney+’that is representative of the times and what startups can do to get more capital in an efficient manner and spend it efficiently.

They also discuss an Accenture report by Neeraj Sharma on how the DNA of modern consumers is hard to understand. Anand explains how the way forward is to pay attention to the quality of recommendations to avoid consumer fatigue. He further points out that data sharing across platforms can be key to getting to know the modern-day consumer as an individual being.

https://www.accenture.com/_acnmedia/PDF-175/Accenture-Streamings-Complex-Consumer-Report-2022.pdf

Kavita delves into Peter Kafka’s podcast on ‘State of Streaming’ and how “monetization of love leads to people signing up for certain streaming services.” They further discuss the need for streaming services to stay relevant and cite the example of Amazon Prime's business model and its modern-day take on syndication.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-state-of-streaming/id1080467174?i=1000556488283

The podcast further explores the recent chain of events in the media space that was highlighted in Sway by Kara Swisher, in an episode titled “The Death of CNN+ and Netflix’s Pain. Is This Streaming’s Reckoning?”. They discuss the need for businesses to adapt and evolve to stay relevant. They also touch upon larger trends in modern-day advertising about ads trying to be endemic to the platform and be more non-intrusive to the consumer experience.
