The DPP hosted its Innovation Briefing event at the beginning of 2025, where Founder and Chief Content Officer, Mark Harrison, presented to an audience of media professionals what the latest technology innovations and consumer trends mean for those working in broadcast, entertainment and media. In particular, what's just hype and what are the things that really matter?

In this episode of the DPP Podcast we hear more reflections of the DPP's recent trends work, including from the BBC's Laura Ellis and Jigsaw 24's Chris Bailey who spoke at the Innovation Briefing event. We also hear from Microsoft Worldwide Strategy Director for Media & Entertainment, Simon Crownshaw, about innovations in media, what the sector can learn from the gaming industry, and the company's vision for the role of artificial intelligence.
