Africa Entertainment & Media Outlook 2019–2023

Getting personal: Putting the me in entertainment & media

An in-depth analysis of the trends shaping the entertainment and media industry in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Tanzania.

Overview

What are the highlights in the new Outlook? This year, we’re looking at the industry through the lens of the consumer. We focus on the rise of increasingly personal and personalised media interactions, as today’s consumers – eager, highly selective and voracious – seize the opportunity to enjoy media experiences tailored to their own preferences,contexts and schedules.

In a word, the theme is personalisation. Consumers are using an expanding array of connected devices to organise, curate and discover their own unique worlds of media. Inresponse, companies are designing their offerings to revolve around personal preferences, using data and usage patterns to pitch their products not at audiences of billions, but separately at billions of individuals.
