We hope you can join us for our 1Q22 themes presentation on Today at 10:00 am ET. We will review the major trends underpinning the internet, media, and cable/telecom space across multiple durations. We will also discuss our positioning, top ideas heading into earnings season, and new ideas we have in the hopper. More importantly, we will run through the latest data updates that help us measure and map the industry. We will contextualize the data with field notes from our conversations with advertising agencies and brands.

In our 4Q21 (October) themes presentation, we previewed the slowdown in digital advertising spend (stimulus impact + data privacy + digital pull forward) and volatile engagement trends that resulted in missed estimates and multiple compression for the group. We also flagged continued risk to cable broadband estimates with growing competition from fixed wireless and fiber. In Media, we saw a risk to Disney+ subscriber estimates, Netflix starting to claw back its share of engagement as production ramps back up and improving MAU trends at Spotify. 

On Today's call, we will run through the roadmap for 2022 (timing, catalysts, drivers) - including the potential for a 2H inflection in growth and where we see risks/opportunities both long and short.

Please call or e-mail with any questions.
