Recorded at the Digital Media Forum pop-up studio, Lara sits down with Joey Feghaly to tackle the question every media professional is debating — has digital finally overtaken TV, or does television still rule the living room? Joey unpacks the nuanced reality: traditional TV still dominates as a household medium, while Connected TV (CTV) and streaming platforms like Shahid are redefining how audiences in the MENA region consume content.

Key Takeaways:

- ✅ TV Is Not Dead — Yet: Why traditional television still commands the living room and what that means for brands targeting mass audiences.
- ✅ CTV Is the Bridge: How Connected TV blurs the line between streaming and linear broadcasting in markets like the GCC.
- ✅ Social vs. TV Behavior: Why the way we watch TV is fundamentally different from the way we scroll — and how marketers need to adapt their strategy accordingly.
- ✅ The Creator Economy's Ripple Effect: How influencer-driven content is reshaping even the most traditional media structures.
- ✅ Collaboration Over Competition: Why digital and TV work better together than against each other.
- ✅ MENA Media Trends: What's unique about the region's media landscape and what global brands consistently miss.
