Disruption in Young Viewers

Davis noted that children are now watching content ranging from Bluey to Squid Game. She stated the studio had to activate quickly because this audience is really important. The team realized they could not approach their strategy the same way anymore.

New Storytelling Approaches

The division is looking at how to tell stories with beloved franchises and connect through new formats. Davis emphasized the need for content that feels fresh, relevant, and authentic to the audience. Partners across the industry are being considered to help reach these viewers.

Platform Strategy Shift

Leadership is examining how content shows up across different platforms to maintain brand connection. The goal involves growing with the brand while keeping audiences engaged through new stories.
