A huge shout out and thank you to our visionary partners: LG Ad Solutions, Spectrum Reach, Bango, Swipefinder, Bedrock Streaming, Merzigo and FilmHub, for your trust, expertise and insights. Together, we spurred debates, fuelled new ways of thinking and above all built a community of like-minded M&E professionals.
Ok now we’re really done for the season.
We’ll meet back here again on September 4th. Until then, I thought you could use a summer playlist to catch up on episodes you may have missed. So here goes a breakdown by theme of Season 1 of The Media Odyssey Podcast. It’s also a great opportunity for you to share (with a simple reply to this email) which topics you’d like to see us cover in season 2.
Happy summer everyone ❤️
