Chief Media Officer at Known, Kasha Cacy, discusses YouTube's growing prominence against traditional television, despite challenges for brands regarding content predictability and measurement. Cacy, also touches on the evolving landscape of big creators acting as media companies and the current economic outlook from a business perspective.

💡Takeaways:

  • 📈 YouTube's Continued Growth: YouTube consistently gains viewership from traditional television, stealing audience year over year. 
  • 🤷‍♀️ Content Predictability Challenges: A key hurdle for brands on YouTube is the less predictable nature of its content compared to TV, leading to uncertainty about ad placement. 
  • 👴📺 Generational Perception Gap: There's a "snobbiness in media" where older generations may perceive YouTube content as "not high quality," despite younger audiences (like 14 and 16-year-olds) spending significant time on the platform.
  • 🤝 Evolving Creator Ecosystem: Large creators are now operating like media companies, with "creator studios" producing content that can jump from YouTube to other platforms like Netflix. 
  • ⚖️  Embrace "Good Enough" Measurement: Media professionals are often too "precious" in seeking perfect measurement solutions.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
