Early Week 2022 Presentations and Parties Schedule: Portfolio Presentations, Fewer Parties, and Jimmy Kimmel

UpdatedStepping out of Covid’s long shadow, we move on to what is traditionally known as Pre-Broadcast Week, a ritual that stretches back three days of networking and focuses on the annual fall launch of new car models. This name is less appropriate than ever, as the CW is the only broadcast network to organize an independent event; The rest is part of all company portfolio presentations. Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, the architect of the $ 43 billion Discovery-WarnerMedia merger, is expected to take the stage with Ava and the merged entity. Another recently merged entity, TelevisaUnivision, will make its debut. Plus, Newfronter, YouTube, has gone the way of breakfast and its Brandcast extravaganza.

After peaking around four years ago, some of the previous week’s holidays dropped dramatically. The agency’s bass (and Entertainment Weekly & People’s aperitif) are a thing of the past. Only WME’s traditional Peter Luger dinner for top clients and executives was to carry on its 27-year tradition until it was canceled on Friday as many of the agency’s clients decided to stay home due to security concerns .

It also kicks off another element: Jimmy Kimmel’s hugely popular pre-fried Disney presentation, which, along with the Fox event, has left its long-standing location for a new location.

The $ 60 billion plus TV advertising business looks very different from last time when they all came together in 2019. Media companies are now fully investing in streaming, so they are setting the playing field for both linear and digital functions. . Yet recent Netflix battles have highlighted the need to balance digital openness with lessons on the traditional way to achieve it.
