It’s Only Entertainment [Baby Teeth]
14:00-16:00

Today, everything is entertainment. From simple behaviours like how we present ourselves online, to transformative practices like how news is delivered and elections are won. It’s how a launch campaign for a film can be a bigger spectacle than the film itself, or how an incongruous product collab can create demand from completely new audiences. This panel explores the exponential rise of everything as entertainment, and what this means for brands, talent and platforms, their narratives and the importance of ideas.

Baby Teeth are joined by:

Zoe Clapp, Global Director for YouTube Shorts, Artist + GenAI Marketing, YouTube
Jamie Adair of creative collective Crowns and Owls
