How to Apply

Generative AI and platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have eliminated traditional barriers to content creation and distribution, thus intensifying competition for studios, networks, streamers, BDUs and other incumbents. To retain audience engagement, these players must leverage the tangible and intangible complementary value they can uniquely provide to consumers.

What kinds of value are consumers looking for in their relationships with content creators and distributors? What are content creators and distributors currently doing to deepen engagement and further drive revenue growth? What do you think they should be doing?
