At a time when old-school media is on the decline, innovators are using technology to create more dynamic content experiences. These companies are disrupting the media industry in ways we couldn’t have imagined a decade ago, from the way we watch football at home to the experience of attending a concert.
Amazon
For flawless blitz predictions that alter ‘Thursday Night Football’ forever
Up until now, many televised sports broadcasts have consisted of replay analysis. Thursday Night Football on Amazon is using AI to predict quarterback pressures, providing play analysis while the action is happening and even predicting blitzes. Along with changing how we view football from our couch, this advanced technology could also be be used by coaches to future scenarios for play callers.
Discord
For gamifying game advertising
Quests on Discord is a social marketing offering that helps game developers reach players by leveraging the Discord community. Publishers and developers who have participated in Quests since March of 2024 represent some of the most recognizable gaming names, including Fortnite, Minecraft, and Call of Duty. By driving friend-to-friend recommendations, Quests lets developers meet new audiences in an authentic way.
Disguise
For enveloping us in new experiences
Disguise is pioneering “the next dimension of entertainment” at scale with software and hardware that caters to the exploding market for visual graphics. Its immersive “4D” content has amped up the spectacle at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, the Olympics, and the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas. Single Large Canvas, a feature in its Disguise Designer software, allows content creators to scale up their visuals to span displays more than 16,000 pixels wide.
Lemonlight
For cutting down on the time you spend in Final Cut
Hero by Lemonlight is a generative AI-enabled, full-service video content creation platform that cuts production time in half by demystifying and streamlining production via AI interactions.

Not Impossible Labs
For helping us feel the music
