Social media platforms have also become essential channels for entertainment and media companies to promote their content, engage with audiences, and build their brands. For instance, Netflix has a strong social media presence, with over 20 million followers on Instagram and over 10 million followers on Twitter (Netflix, 2022).

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the entertainment and media industry. The lockdowns and social distancing measures have accelerated the shift to online consumption of entertainment and media content. According to a report by PwC, the global entertainment and media industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% from 2020 to 2025, driven by the rise of streaming services and online gaming (PwC, 2020).

The pandemic has also led to the cancellation of live events, such as concerts, festivals, and sports events. However, this has also created opportunities for virtual events and live streaming, which have become increasingly popular.
