Shorts, AI & the Super Bowl Olympics How Streaming, Marketing & Media Are Colliding Next TMT Talks

Описание: The media and streaming industry is heading into a perfect storm — and short-form video, AI-powered workflows, and tentpole live events are at the center of it.

In this episode of Next TMT Talks, co-hosts David Bloom and Daniel Frankel are joined by Paul Pastor (Quickplay) to unpack how the creator economy, micro-dramas, AI metadata, and social distribution are colliding with traditional streaming, advertising, and live sports.

We cover:

Why short-form video and micro-dramas are exploding — and how studios are responding

How AI is transforming content discovery, metadata, and social publishing

The real economics behind the Super Bowl + Olympics convergence

What Peacock, Charter, Comcast, and global broadcasters are signaling about the future of bundles

How brands and streamers are fighting to stay relevant in real time

Sundance’s move away from Park City — and what it says about the future of festivals

Why creator-led IP may be the next Hollywood farm system

Paul Pastor explains how AI-driven content intelligence is enabling faster, smarter clip creation, vertical video strategies, and monetization across platforms — just as short-form ad revenue begins to rival traditional streaming.

If you work in streaming, media, advertising, telecom, or tech, this conversation breaks down what matters now — and what’s coming next.
