Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE: Evan Shapiro on Cannes, Creators and the streaming wars
Q: What should listeners look forward to from you in the coming months?
Expansion of the cross-screen attention index, more regions, a creator economy map expansion, and a suite of content at major events like MIPCOM and IBC, along with continued cross-platform analysis.
AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE: Evan Shapiro on Cannes, Creators and the streaming wars
Q: What's your take on the creator economy's impact on agencies and traditional marketers?
Agencies often underpay for strategy and overpay for time; true value lies in leveraging creators and strategic insight, not just producing content, and brands should embrace creator-led approaches and employee-generated content to stay relevant.
AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE: Evan Shapiro on Cannes, Creators and the streaming wars
Q: Has Netflix won the Streaming Wars, or is the fight still evolving?
Netflix won in the sense that the wars have moved into a phase of affinity and cross-screen strategy, with YouTube and other platforms playing a bigger role in engaging audiences; the industry has shifted to an affinity economy rather than a pure subscriber race.
AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE: Evan Shapiro on Cannes, Creators and the streaming wars
Q: Aside from the Rosé and the cognitive dissonance, what were the main talking points you saw at Cannes Lions?
Two major conversations stood out: how to work with creators (brands building extensive creator relationships, with examples like Unilever) and brands-as-creators through employee-generated content, plus the broader shift toward the Creator Economy as a strategic force in marketing.
What's the difference between sexual content and smut?
Q: Where can we read you? Tell us exactly the days you're published and where we can find your work.
Jana details that she writes multiple columns weekly for Daily Mail in both the US and Australia, with different edits per country, and highlights Instagram as a place for audience input and engagement.
