Anyone moaning about mates rates last week, can have some at 6p now, maybe lower.

IM has said they are initially targeting ...

1. Pro Teams within a Corporate Environment
2. Monetised Creators
3. High End You Tubers
4. Podcasters

so there is where they are targeting initial revenues ...

Apparently in 2023 YouTube had around 15M users focused on video creation. So there was a market in that sector of the Creator economy but how large is it now?

[nickb] 05/3/2024 09:02

Hyper

Mainstream media is looking and feeling like a dinosaur these days and that is reflected in the old tools and ways of making content.
It’s going to break.

I see higher quality and more innovative thinking in the creator space
Many YouTubers are pulling in more viewers than many US TV network shows!

M&E only makes sense on big budget productions big sports and news.
The rest won’t support the cost structure.

[shortsqueezer] 05/3/2024 08:58

On the contrary. A couple of directors buys and leading up to the launch I would expect to see some speculative buying.

[leighford] 05/3/2024 08:57

Last roll of the dice then. A technology that’s been trying to find a decent market for the last 20 years.
Now all hope seems to be pinned on the ‘only fans’ sector.

[cabi1] 05/3/2024 08:50

This is going nowhere now until there’s hard evidence that there is demand for elevate.io.

Same here, about 80% of my viewing time is on YouTube, the rest is almost all Netflix or Amazon. I almost didn't renew the TV licence this year! But my partner still enjoys a few things on the BBC, but they are working out expensive, not a lot of content for the TV fee.

[hyperal] 05/3/2024 08:39

Results as expected.

The time for our technology is now. The world needs it. It's the end for piles of expensive office based hardware. elevate.io will elevate this community into the cloud. Well I certainly hope it does, I mean 20 years following this company needs to be rewarded!!

[nickb] 05/3/2024 08:13

While the global recession is damaging the big Media economy they are also suffering from the explosion of the creator economy!

I don’t know about you guys but I spend more time watching YouTube creators than mainstream media channels.

[cyberbub] 05/3/2024 08:11

No negative reaction so far. We know that there will be at least 1M shares bought today :-)

[pokerchips2] 05/3/2024 08:06

yes, M&E going through a tough adjustment ....even smaller cake to try and eat from ... they must be thankful that at least 2024 is an Olympic year ......

Creator economy isnt immune to the downturn , but at least BIRD are aiming for the professional earners who seem to be asking for what Elevate is looking to provide

[cyberbub] 05/3/2024 07:58

Absolutely as expected, a couple of million loss, £6m or so cash remaining today after the raise. The good news is Elevate still on track to launch very soon, no delays!

[nickb] 05/3/2024 07:37

Yes as expected.

M&E market is terrible at the moment perhaps one of the worst times ever.

In the U.K. 70% of freelancers are unemployed!
US market is also bad.

All the companies are struggling not just us so it’s the right move to focus on the creator economy

[terminator101] 05/3/2024 07:31

Morning cult members. Revenue down Losses upBut at least they admit they are a story share More snake oil share imo. How is this lifestyle pish worth £23 million on those financials. A triumph of the rabid gerbil over judgement.

[geheimnis2] 05/3/2024 07:22

As expected tbh

No better no worse

[ortegaworm] 05/3/2024 07:21

Lots of pessimistic commentary, yet we are perfectly aligned to move into a seismic shift in the industry. There are always headwinds when an atomic goes off, and this has been seen throughout the industry with layoffs left right and centre. Budgetary constraints, etc.... But now, as the dust settles and clears a shining bright light emerges, lifting up the industry with its superfast, multi collaborative, frame Accurate, highly patented technology. The time for Elevate is now. The results are nothing that we did not already expect.

[ih_524305] 05/3/2024 07:21

Concentrate, Deltatre is still a user is my reading. They might just have cut usage as they lost a few deals.

[purchaseatthetop] 05/3/2024 07:19

The cash raise suggests that they do not expect elevate to take off as fast as they hoped. The HNW individuals story is very questionable. More likely the raise was presold into the recent rise.

This is a spin on the roulette wheel. If it drops in then great payday…..if not, well.

[concentrate] 05/3/2024 07:18

the Company also lost deals from A+E Networks, Deltatre and NHL during the year, and smaller ones from ODK and Gfinity who shut their services due to them being uneconomical in the tough market conditions.


Makes you wonder if they want the price lower!

[spoonmuff] 05/3/2024 07:15

Let’s hope elevate.io takes off because that is an awful report. Nothing good at all in there other than no elevate delays
