Hot List: Cream Skim The (Ad)week That Was
“Don’t tell me how good you make it; tell me how good it makes me when I use it.†– Leo Burnett

If you went to AdweekNYC, you might feel like you’ve been chewed up and spit out by the collision of your echo chambers. Or you're thankful to see people IRL, not on Zoom. Or both.
If you didn’t go, the halls were jammed, it was hot, and lots of people said a modified version of what you heard them say the last time you went to something like this. Maybe a little more shoppable, measurable, streamable or even F*&k!d up and thankfully, a lot less pandemic-y…
Either way, here is a cheat sheet on the headlines on the week that was- including links to sessions from some of our esteemed Thought Leaders Circle members (now open for 2024)

Why Netflix’s decision to raise prices during a very good quarter is not surprising and why the rise of fixed wireless broadband is cable’s biggest nightmare.
But its $55.8 million EMV was nowhere near what Spotify received, according to a new report from CreatorIQ.
“Quiet-quitting†stayed prevalent in Q2 as sports and news helped keep audiences tethered to cable and satellite, to some extent.
The so-called “Streaming Wars†have never been a zero-sum game. Brandon Katz looks at how Netflix’s changing supply share is a reflection of a maturing streaming market.
Football and baseball dominated Inscape’s latest ranking of most-watched TV programming.
