Predictions 2024: Media And Advertising

There’s new confidence building within the media world, thanks to generative AI (genAI) and stabilizing advertising revenues. B2C marketing teams are ready to “shake off” the last few years, after having been shackled by a global pandemic and mired in economic uncertainty.

This report declares five media and advertising predictions as we enter 2024 — a year where big media gets its mojo back.
