Had the most wonderful time speaking on trends in music tech to the students of NYU Tisch School of the Arts Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music alongside dream team Pete Mathias of Alumni Ventures, Kristen London, CFA of TuneCore, and Andrew Bornstein of Red Light Management. The NYC media & music technology community is strong and growing, and I'm grateful to be a part. Thank you to the fantastic NYU team Nick Sansano, Stein Bjelland, and Marat Berenstein for hosting and to Pete Mathias for making this happen. Thank you as well to the students who showed up and shared their valuable perspectives. PS: This first photo is at the Beastie Boys' studio in front of their original Neve recording console. Pretty cool.

“What is Fail Better About?” “...I’m failing at giving you an answer.” This is why David Duchovny is the perfect host for Lemonada Media’s newest podcast, Fail Better! To be human is to fail. And not just once, but often. But if it's something we all do so frequently, why are we so afraid of it? David Duchovny wants to fail better, dammit. So, he’s sitting down with thoughtful people every week to talk about it. Because maybe if we fail better, we’ll feel better. Fail Better is premiering on May 7th from Lemonada Media.

ICYMI: Over the weekend, The New York Times ran a feature story on a topic Antenna knows pretty well: Serial Churners. While the increase in churn for Premium SVOD services isn't new, it reached a tipping point last year and, as the story notes, by the end of February 2024 some 29M Americans have canceled 3 or more services in the past 2 years. That's roughly 1/4 of the market. Just like consumer packaged goods manufacturers can't ignore coupon clippers, as Antenna Co-Founder and CEO Jonathan Carson says, streamers “clearly can’t ignore [Serial Churners] because it’s such a big, active part of the market." Because, let's face it: churn happens. And as the video streaming industry starts to mature, the type of data and analytics that operators are using need to mature as well. Understanding patterns in consumer behaviors enables streamers to better manage their subscribers with more targeted marketing, pricing, packaging, and content. https://lnkd.in/gQ_UrQKB #svod #avod #streamingvideo #churn #media #streaminganalytics #streamingdata #mediainsights #subscriptioneconomy
