Jose Eshkenazi Smeke: 2022 the year of live events and especially live sports
Jose Eshkenazi, explains the importance of live events in 2022
"In 2022, "Live events" will be consolidated. Just look at the increase in Live Nation action in the last six months; it has increased 41.85%. The announcement that StubHub could go public through a SPAC, just as Seat Geek is about to close another SPAC and go public."
In fact, in recent months, the rating agencies have improved their perspectives towards the live events market; for example, Moody's raised Stubhub's debt rating to be positive, based on strong brand recognition.
In this regard, what risks do you observe: "The greatest risk is the issue of the pandemic, but fortunately, this variant has not significantly increased the number of deaths globally, and the progress of science in this matter has been surprising. However, we must not stop being cautious in this regard," said the Director of Soccer Media Solutions, Jose Eshkenazi Smeke.
How do you consider the case of Mexico and Latin America in this regard?
Indeed, the Mexican market is growing, and live Nation reaffirmed its investment in the country by closing the acquisition of OCESA. The new players that we pointed out will have an appetite for the Mexican and Latin American market. Ticketing technology is changing everything, and it is now possible to define ticket distribution processes in an adequate and timely manner. Technology will cause more and more investments to consolidate towards live events.
In what virtue could you give us your vision of this growth with the development of virtual advertising?
In recent months, the word virtual has had greater importance from the strategies of Microsoft to those of Meta before Facebook. Everything indicates that it is the way to go. We at Soccer Media Solutions have been betting on this advertising sector for years. We have invested technological resources and partnerships with large media outlets to offer the best solution in this segment. Today we provide more and more product integration that is not intrusive with the viewer and allows you to create solutions that advertisers would not otherwise have. In live sports, advertising spaces are limited, so we believe that with us, clients can reach those audiences that they would not be able to by other means.
