One of the best cases studies for the transformative nature of digital is the entertainment industry. Just one example surely proves that entertainment needs Chief Digital Officers: Blockbuster Video. Yet while Hollywood and the digital revolution have not always been perfect bedfellows, one would be remiss to think that entertainment companies need CDOs just to survive. Instead, the CDO Club brought together some of the most potent architects of change within the industry to tell us how to use digital not just to survive, but thrive in a world of diverse content creation, consumption, and distribution. "The Entertainment Ecosystem" panel was held at the 2nd annual CDO Summit at Time Warner in New York City on April 22, 2014, and featured the following participants: ✰ Kristen O'Hara: Chief Marketing Officer at Time Warner Inc. ✰ Thomas Gewecke: EVP and CDO of Strategy and Business Development at Warner Bros ✰ Dan Suratt: EVP of Digital Media and Business Development at A&E; Networks ✰ Kristin Frank: EVP at Connected Content Group (MTV, VH1, CMT, LOGO at Viacom) ✰ Lisa Hsia: EVP of Digital at Bravo and Oxygen Media The first CDO Summit was held at Thomson Reuters in New York City in February, 2013. The second was held on April 22-23, 2014, at Time Warner in NYC. The inaugural UK CDO Summit was held on 29 October 2014 at the BBC Media Centre in London, England.
