The Media Leader Podcast
Columnist Nicola Kemp returns to the podcast alongside host Ella Sagar and reporter Jack Benjamin to review the past week’s news in media and advertising.
In her latest column, Kemp wrote about how the hustle culture is having negative effects on staff, especially caretakers. She implored media professionals to embrace the art of saying “no” this year.
The trio discuss the column, as well as how and why ads are coming to Amazon Prime Video and the downturn in the TV ad market resulting in lay-offs at Channel 4.
They also touch on 2023’s box office revenue figures, the post-cookie future and how publishers must innovate in response to losing traffic from social media.
