Episode notes

In this episode, Chris Mawdsley, Head of Media Strategy at the BBC, joins Ian to unpack what it means to plan media when “the audience is everyone, all of the time.” He explains how the corporation uses data to identify target audiences, why Out‑of‑Home has become key for scale and talkability as TV viewing fragments, and how “planned reactivity” helps the BBC turn hit shows like The Traitors into real-world, cultural moments.
