2024 is the 16th consecutive year Devoncroft Partners has conducted the Big Broadcast Survey (BBS). The BBS remains the largest annual demand-side study of the global broadcast and media technology sector.
We have only been able to track the factors driving purchase decisions in the global media technology sector because of the stakeholder feedback received each year. A special thanks to the several thousand global respondents to this year’s survey efforts.
Over the next weeks and months, we will publish selected highlights from this year’s BBS reports on the Devoncroft website. These articles are posted on a semi-regular basis, so please check back often. To receive posts when published, please enter register with your email in the box in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
