New Zealand Entertainment and media outlook 2011-2015

Our inaugural New Zealand Entertainment and media outlook 2011-2015 has launched.

The Outlook provides five year revenue forecasts and commentary on 10 key sectors of the entertainment and media industry including: internet, advertising, television, newspaper and magazine publishing, filmed entertainment, radio and recorded music, and interactive games and recorded music.

Our report highlights the following: 

  • The New Zealand entertainment and media industry held its ground during the recession.
  • It’s a golden age for the empowered consumer and closer collaboration between advertisers, entertainment and media businesses and technology providers will be essential for engaging empowered but time-poor consumers.
  • Growth rates are expected to rise as new technologies and faster/cheaper broadband change the way people consume and pay for entertainment.
  • The industry needs to overhaul traditional business models now so it can capitalise on the opportunities ultra-fast-broadband will give.
  • Digital spending is predicted to rise as traditional media and entertainment spending falls.
  • Current revenue levels aren't sustainable and threaten the local entertainment and media industry: it needs to figure out how to monetise the on-line space.
  • The industry is changing and faces more competition from international providers.
  • For innovative organisations, the changing entertainment and media space gives many more opportunities for revenue, consumer and audience growth.

Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2011-2015

The Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2011-2015: The collaborative future: reshaping for consumer relevance and engagement has just been launched.

This year's Outlook puts a spotlight on:

  • The digitally empowered consumer: access to content choice is unprecedented and often free, but the industry cannot survive if content is not monetised. What incentives can be offered to encourage consumers to pay?
  • The involved advertiser: Advertisers and agencies are getting more sophisticated in grabbing the new opportunities of the digital age, especially through mobility and social networking.
  • Transforming the business for digital: The dynamics outlined above are taking E&M companies towards a new operating model—the Collaborative Digital Enterprise, or CDE—designed for an environment of constant digitally driven disruption and opportunity.
