Media & Entertainment Tech The year in review 2020 Maxime Eyraud About me Hey, I’m Maxime! I’m a media professional working at the intersection of technology and the creative industries. I’m based in Paris, France. I’ve always been passionate with media & entertainment at large. How stories are created, shared, discovered, and enjoyed. How technology enables creativity and shapes our imaginations. My background is a mix of humanities and business, and I’d like to think that both have informed how I look at these issues. If you’re building or/and investing in media, or just want to jam about this space, I’d love to chat! You can find me on Twitter and LinkedIn, or shoot me an email at

I look forward to hearing from you. 2 Media & Entertainment Tech Review 2020 © Maxime Eyraud What you’ll find here This report is an overview of the trends and companies that pushed Media & Entertainment Tech forward in 2020 – a momentous year if there ever was. Packed full with insights from the best operators, analysts, and investors, it aims to help you better understand where the space stands today, and where it’s going next. (If you need a refresher on everything that happened in 2019, I think you’ll find my previous report useful!) It also makes good use of the data I collect in my personal database all along the year. Being French, I mostly hear and read about Western products and companies. I’ve tried my best to fight this bias and discuss trends that I think are having a global impact.
