2023 marks the 15th consecutive year Devoncroft Partners has conducted the Big Broadcast Survey (BBS), which remains the largest annual demand-side study of the global broadcast and media technology sector. A special thanks to the several thousand global respondents to this year’s survey efforts (you will receive a copy of this year’s Executive Summary once the write-up is complete).
The survey has evolved each year based on stakeholder feedback, enabling us to consistently track the factors driving purchase decisions in the media technology sector for over a decade.
We will publish selected highlights from this year’s BBS reports on the Devoncroft website over the next weeks and months. These articles are posted on a semi-regular basis, so please check back often.
