MEDIAGENIX AND WHATS’ON: 100 % project success rate
Between Tokyo and Beijing: takeaways after a glorious summer of sports
This summer has shown us that the world of live sports is going through a succession of big changes in rights management and monetization, technology, distribution, and business models. The systems used for engaging increasingly fragmented sports audiences will need to have the flexibility, openness and functional depth to cope with all that.
What we can take away for the immediate future is that the key currencies for success are engaged audiences, operational efficiency, and a sound return on your investment in live sports. M&E Business Management Platform WHATS’ON covers all the bases to meet both the eternal and new challenges of live sports programming, and come out winning.
