How We Drive Viewership for Entertainment Marketers: Our Playbook For Tune-In and Theatrical Campaigns

Despite a slowdown in TV production caused by the effects of the pandemic, the number of original scripted series on U.S. television in 2020 still totaled a whopping 493, while the number in 2021 reached a record-breaking 559. At the same time, Nielsen reported that live plus time-shifted TV reached 80% of adults each week, with those viewers tuning in on average for over 30 hours weekly. Meanwhile, Hollywood movie studio production is returning to pre-pandemic levels with both theatrical-exclusive and day-and-date releases steadily rolling out.
