of Gen Z prefer recorded games over live broadcasts — they meet sport through smartphones and digital platforms.
A world where fandom is more than just an individual, isolated experience.
A world without barriers between brand and franchise ecosystems — together with other fans.
A fandom experience that is universal, and never leaves you — even if you leave for a while.
Audience preferences are constantly shifting, and new technology platforms capture the attention of consumers — especially younger ones. The way people consume entertainment is changing: franchises need to meet them where they are and cater to their need for self-expression through personalization.
The most important thing is that you don’t lose fans just because they aren’t “swifties” anymore. Keep them where they are. You know who they are and who their friends are — feed them relevant value, help them capitalize on previous fandom, and help them find their next one.
