I don't want to be a Grinch who stole Easter, but I think it's time to address some important realities. The entertainment world is undergoing significant transformations. Writers and actors are on strike, and streaming services are facing financial struggles. But this is just the beginning. There's a lot more: •⁠ ⁠Companies in Hollywood are cutting costs and letting go of employees. •⁠ ⁠More time and money are being spent on video games than on movies. •⁠ ⁠Major players like Warner Bros. Discovery are merging to cut expenses. •⁠ ⁠With actors and writers on strike, TV and movie production is at a standstill. •⁠ ⁠Viewers are shifting from traditional TV to cable and streaming services. In a nutshell, the entertainment industry is evolving rapidly. We've all heard countless times that change is the only constant, yet only a small percentage of businesses truly adapt quickly. And most of the time, this determines which ones will survive and which ones will fail. Next time, I'll share how we at IneoMedia have changed our way of doing things and what strategies you can steal from us. Stay tuned! 🙌 #entertainment #change
