📈 Microsoft's Share Price Tripled Under Satya Nadella
Five years ago, Satya Nadella took over as CEO at #Microsoft, following in the footsteps of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. It wasn’t an easy situation to come in for Nadella, considering that Microsoft had missed the transition to mobile devices, Windows 8 had flopped miserably and the PC market had started its decline, putting Microsoft’s core business, Windows, into question.
Back in 2014, most people given the choice to invest $1,000 in either Microsoft or #Apple, probably would have invested in the latter, considering the huge success that Microsoft’s old foe was having with its mobile devices, most importantly the iPhone. And yet, here we are, five years into Nadella’s tenure and Microsoft is not only the most valuable public company on the planet, it has also outperformed Apple over the past five years.

📺 Competing for Consumer Attention
The pressure on linear TV isn’t just coming from streaming services such as #Netflix and #Hulu. Both are part of a wider competition for the consumer’s free time with other media formats.
Consumers are now clocking up an average of around 2:20 hours per day on #SocialMedia, rising to around 3 hours among 16-24s. Online and print press, games consoles, music streaming and broadcast radio collectively constitute around 5 hours of a consumer’s day. That’s not including the hour and a quarter spent watching online #TV, and the 6 ¾ hours spent online more broadly on a daily basis.
Consumer attention in this crowded environment has become harder to maintain.
Linear TV, does however, have a lot to boast about here. With the exception of social media, linear TV captures the largest share of daily media time among consumers, standing at 18%, significantly above online TV’s 12%. And considering social media engagement happens frequently throughout the day whereas TV engagement is mostly in long durations, that’s an impressive feat.

💰 Amazon Challenges Ad Duopoly
According to a new eMarketer report, digital ad spending in the United States will exceed traditional media spending, e.g. TV, print and radio ads, for the first this year. Boosted by the ongoing mobile #advertising boom, digital ad spending is expected to grow 19 percent to $129 billion in 2019.
While the digital ad market is still dominated by #Google and #Facebook, who account for roughly 60 percent of total spending, a third company is challenging the de-facto duopoly of the world’s largest search and social media companies. Online retail behemoth #Amazon has quietly built a billion-dollar ad business which is growing at a rate of 50 percent per year.

🎵 Streaming Dominates Music Industry Revenue
The #music industry is generating the lion share of its revenue from streaming. A recent Recording Industry Association of America report found that three quarters of all revenue in the industry comes from streaming services like #Spotify. Last year RIAA reported that only 65 percent of revenue came from streaming, pointing to how prevalent and essential streaming has become to making money in music.
Overall revenue from streaming music grew by 30 percent year-over-year, hitting a total of $7.4 billion for 2018. While the growth seems to be ramping up, the industry is rebounding from a low. This year is the first time the industry is even nearing what its total revenue was over a decade ago. The major reasons for the slump in recent years has been the digitization of music circulated on the internet.
