Fan Events Are The New Fan Favorite
News of this mostly virtual fan event comes after Netflix, the platform’s biggest competitor, announced a similar party of their own. TUDUM, a star-studded live stream, is bringing celebrations and new content from Netflix onto our small screens. This will take place on September 25th. It’s almost in line with the company’s eleventh streaming anniversary (September 22nd, 2010!)
Could big fan events like Disney+ Day 2021 and its impressive schedule be the next big thing in promoting streaming services? We’re sure to see a boost in the streaming wars. But hey, if we’re getting new content out of it, then we’re more than pleased.
