Marco Bassetti, CEO, commented: “Banijay Entertainment, with Banijay Live, continues to illustrate a robust business model, as demonstrated by these latest H1 results. Year-on-year, we have significantly increased our activities with streamers, maintained significant investment in creativity to bolster our competitive market advantage, and accelerated our digital transformation efforts. The latter will rapidly unlock greater efficiencies, further amplify the value of our catalogue, and enhance our presence on YouTube specifically. In embracing new technologies and diversifying our revenue streams in areas like sport too, we continue to prepare the group for the future, cementing our house as the number one for talent, IP, and creative innovation.”
