What are the dynamics of the industry you work in?

It's strongly hit by the pandemic but digital platforms have increased their competitive advantages. Our platform, Mediaspace was ncepted before but born in the pandemic when social distancing rules make professionals network more in the digital space, which is an opportunity for us and the whole industry. However, fundraising and revenue generation is harder now. Please see some of our market analysis here.

Why did you start Mediaspace.global? What opportunities did you see?

We started to build Mediaspace.global in Jan 2020 because the media industry has been challenged by tech innovation, outdated regulation - and also by living in our professional bubbles that makes collaboration hard.  We wanted to create a professional global platform that breaks information bubbles, supports global networking, collaboration and discussion on individual professional, company and industry level, too, by inviting all all media, marketing, tech, regulation and innovation professionals working in the mediaspace to one central platform.

Now it's even more timely because in-person professional networking opportunities are limited, other social networks are crowded and mainly operated by gatekeepers, so this new platform brings a new wave of vertical social platforms, new rules and lots of advantages for high level and next gen decision makers to create a sustainable media world based on fair business rules.

What problem or problems does Mediaspace.global solve?

COVID-19 accelerated digital transformation & global challenges in the media space, further challenged by social distancing.

What can Mediaspace.global do that no other company can?

1) Meaningful connections: Connect with professionals all over the world from media-marketing-tech-regulation-innovation.
2) Breaking information and network bubbles by our open feed, interdisciplinary events, news, reports
