Peter Chernin On The Future of Digital Entertainment (video)

Peter Chernin: The Future of Digital Entertainment

In an episode of Talks at GS, filmed at Goldman Sachs’ Builders + Innovators Summit, media executive Peter Chernin discussed the evolution of digital entertainment and how the business continues to adapt for a changing consumer. Goldman Sachs (goldmansachs.com) video above published Nov 9, 2018 (via YouTube.com).

Competition for Consumers: “I’m a big believer in try[ing] to think about where consumers are being underserved.… I think there’s one huge chokepoint in the whole thing right now, which is curation, recommendation. I think there is so much stuff out there and I think consumers are wildly underserved…. It’s not money that’s the scarce commodity in that sense, because Netflix is a great bargain. It’s time. It’s how do you figure out what is worth my two hours tonight?”

Brand identity in a digital world: “Branding is certainly enormously important.  I think that… the really interesting challenge from… a digital perspective right now is the balance between customer acquisition, marketing dollars and brand marketing dollars. In general, I think most certainly nascent digital brands are better off spending most of their money on customer acquisition marketing…. So, the brand is hugely important, but I’m not sure I would be marketing it.”

Disney Is A Canary - Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) | SeekingAlpha.com: "... problem: The content cost per subscriber for Comcast (and Comcast-like entities) is much, much higher than for Netflix. It’s roughly 10x higher (~$207 per quarter per sub at Comcast, ~$19 per quarter per sub at Netflix) ... if the content industry was to let Netflix conquer the entire content-consuming market, the entire content industry would have to live on 1/10th the revenues. That’s not going to happen .... the price difference is anchored on much lower content costs which seem highly unsustainable."
