Diverse Representation x WarnerMedia Lunch Series | Dive Into Streaming: The Next Wave of Marketing

Diverse Representation is partnering with WarnerMedia this summer for a virtual lunch series featuring WarnerMedia executives and recruiters. Every month this summer we will focus on different industry trends and WarnerMedia brands. 

Join us on June 30th for our first lunch, Dive Into Streaming: The Next Wave of Marketing. WarnerMedia’s Digital and Social Media teams focus on areas in digital & social marketing, production, design, media, analytics and customer lifecycle marketing. They impact the competitive space by focusing on fan engagement via social platforms, driving tune-in and marketing technology, emerging tech (AI, AR and VR experiences) and creating captivating consumer activations tied to our programming and the WarnerMedia brands. As marketing becomes more reliant on data to reach consumers with targeted messaging, WarnerMedia is injecting new skills into their organization that will arm the company with insights and creative intelligence about those who follow WarnerMedia and love the stories WarnerMedia tells.

 

The pandemic and shift to streaming has led many media and entertainment companies to pivot in terms of creating and distributing content. You are invited to a conversation with WarnerMedia marketing professionals about how this shift has affected digital and social marketing strategies.  The conversation will be followed by an open Q&A session with WarnerMedia Talent Acquisition professionals who will share insight about career opportunities at WarnerMedia.
