Call of Duty

Though Call of Duty (CoD) fans show similar behaviours to the fans of other AAA Games titles, demographically they more closely resemble hard-core gamers. What is more, the amount of time they spend gaming causes them to under-index certain non-game, mainstream digital activities like mobile messaging.

decentralised audience

It used to be much simpler. Fixed programming formats in Television, Print and Radio meant you knew where an audience was and how long they would be there for, yet creators now find themselves in an echo chamber where the tyranny of choice means their potential audience never stays in the same place for long.

With a third of Canadians subscribing to traditional pay-TV, the country has a strong appetite for online video. This is demonstrated by the 20.3% of the population who are now Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) subscribers. With the SVOD market already more than two thirds the size of the traditional pay-TV market, Canada is a litmus test for whe...

Despite the fear of an impending bubble bursting, Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) has never been in a stronger position globally. Although still dominated by the US as the largest market and as the home of the two largest SVOD services, the non-US market is growing fast, with territories such as Singapore experiencing a 20% increase in SVOD ser...

The game console owner segment is evolving fast. Still relatively young for now, console game fans are both aging and heading towards truly mainstream demographic distribution. Simultaneously, console subscription models are gaining traction, migrating premium physical software budgets into digital spend.

Whatever your digital content proposition, mobile gamers comprise a significant share of your user base. The segment is not only important due to its sheer size and app economy value, but also because it straddles otherwise diverse components of the digital entertainment landscape, be it video, music, or messaging.

The over 50 segment has been one of the most neglected during the rise of mobile platforms, social media and digital entertainment. The neglect is understandable considering their well-earned reputation for being more tech cautious. This will all change, though not overnight, as younger digitally savvy consumers age.

Facebook Messenger has caught up with WhatsApp, boasting more than 1 billion Monthly Active Users (MAUs).

In the old world, there were clear demarcations between media types, bordered with proprietary media and playback devices.

SoundCloud is in many respects the odd one out in the audio streaming landscape.
