Media & Entertainment: doing business in a digital world

Even in an industry synonymous with creativity and innovation, there used to be constants. The business model. The value chain. The separation of content creator and audience. Not anymore.

With digitalisation, the media and entertainment industry is undergoing change – everywhere, often and always at very high speed. You’re under constant pressure to embrace new technology, develop new distribution models, comply with new regulations and satisfy the demanding new consumer-turned-competitor. Our Global Media & Entertainment Centre can help.

The Centre is where you’ll find in-depth industry insights, as well as technical and business strength. We understand what’s driving change and how it ripples throughout your enterprise. Whether your challenge is IT controls or digital initiatives, new business models or asset protection, it’s more than likely that we’ve already encountered the issue and examined it through the lens of our global network. This means you’ll benefit from guidance and information on which to base your important decisions.

And digital or not, we’ll continue to provide you with seamless, high-quality assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services that address the unique needs and changing demands of your dynamic company.
