Entertainment Explained

Welcome to Hub Intel. We’re here to provide data, not drama. Our goal is to cut through the noise and understand the trends in the industry, and what they mean to your business. We want this newsletter to be a destination for media insiders to gather and discuss the data and weigh in on the trends – both in the comment section of this newsletter and during quarterly webinars with the Hub team.

Here’s what we hope you’ll get out of this newsletter:

  • Stories, not just data: Understanding the why of a data story is the only way to anticipate where audiences and spending will go in the future.

  • Experts: From content and distribution to marketing and product development, to monetization and advertising, you’ll hear from experts in every facet of the entertainment business. You’ll see new analysis of data from Hub studies, and we’ll invite contributors from other companies to share their research and insights as well.

  • Fun:  If we do it right, this newsletter will be fun, easy to digest, and easy to understand. We want you to interact with the topics and become part of the conversation. We’ll seek your input on which topics to cover, and we hope that every edition will teach you something new.
