It’s here. Playback Pioneers 2025 is live. From cutting-edge AI to world-first UX design, this is where we spotlight the people, companies, and communities shaping how the world watches. This isn’t about names on a page - it’s about the movement shaping the future of how we watch. This year’s report shines a light on the breakthroughs reshaping how the world watches, engages with, and experiences content — from cutting-edge AI and cloud infrastructure to new user experiences, monetisation models, and the voices championing inclusion and sustainability. But Playback Pioneers is about more than recognition. It’s about connection. Over the past three years, the initiative has sparked collaborations, opened doors, and even accelerated real-world projects. It has grown into a community that now stretches beyond the pages of this report, through the Playback Pioneers Podcast and events like the Media & Entertainment Mixer in Bristol, London, and Amsterdam. We’ve divided the 2025 edition into three sections: The Industry Facilitators – the communities, standards, and alliances powering progress. The Playback Pioneers – the leaders redefining technology, business models and Innovation. The Industry Influencers – the voices shaping the conversation and driving change. With IBC - International Broadcasting Convention around the corner, consider this the perfect pre-show read - a snapshot of the people and ideas setting the pace before the madness in Amsterdam begins 😉. 👉 See who made the cut https://lnkd.in/e8s7XzqM In collaboration with: 5V Media | Certified B Corp™ Thanks to our editorial partner: Faultline Spot someone you know?
