New Power Dynamics

These new power dynamics rise out of simultaneity of audiences' desire for control over data, increased consciousness of the value of their data and the tools to trade it for the rewards they desire. Decentralised tech and platforms will create new opportunities for experience rich, dynamic relationships between brands and audiences.

DAOs will enable participants to contribute to the direction of brands and NFTs will be a key component in brand strategies, shaping the future of loyalty programs in the Web3 era.

Emerging Interfaces

AI and data algorithms transform consumers from a passive receiver into co-creators or content and product. Right now, technology serves as a tool and not a participant but in the next decade, AI will become a collaborative partner — leveraging on it to express a clear vision of consumers' desires and expectations.

Web3

In the golden era of linear content, traditional media giants were the architects of entertainment. The power dynamics were crystal clear; producers created; consumers consumed. Web2 then signalled a significant rise with on-demand content. With the rise of Web3, DAOs and tokenised incentive programs are poised to challenge old norms, giving consumers even more control over their experience.

Artificial Intelligence

By 2033, AI will evolve to potentially be a co-writer, co-director, or even the lead actor of stories. It will challenge our notion of creativity and originality. The decade ahead won't be about humans being dominated by AI, but about the collaboration of human and artificial forces to curate the best possible experience for audiences.

When AI suggest a storyline, will you listen? And when consumers leverage AI to show a clear vision of their desires and expectations, how will you respond?
