Joseph Teasdale was quoted in The Telegraph on "The anti-Andrew Tate: how MrBeast turned niceness into a $100m YouTube empire"
26 January 2024“We hear from ad agencies that clients are getting fed up with the online drama and if a site does not deliver sufficient measurable results to make it important enough not to boycott then they’ll just leave it behind,” says Joseph Teasdale, head of tech at Enders Analysis.
Karen Egan was quoted in the Financial Times on "UK says UAE group’s stake in Vodafone is national security risk"
26 January 2024Karen Egan, a senior telecoms analyst at Enders Analysis, said it was “inevitable that [the UK government] would be really sensitive about telecoms, which is more critical than ever to our lives in general and particularly in today’s geopolitical environment”.
She said risks included cyber attacks, interception and networks being shut down.
Egan added that the imposed requirements could be a template for the proposed domestic merger of Vodafone and Three UK, owned by CK Hutchison, if there are any national security concerns related to the Hong Kong-based company.
Karen Egan was quoted in The Time son "Ministers fear Vodafone shareholder poses national security risk"
25 January 2024Karen Egan, head of telecoms at Enders Analysis, said: “It demonstrates that there is a real sensitivity around the services that Vodafone provides and that influence from autocratic states is viewed with some caution. There will be some read across to both The Telegraph takeover case and the proposed Vodafone and Three merger. The mitigations that are suggested for the E& strategic agreement could well serve to address any sensitivities around CK Hutchison part-ownership of a merged Vodafone UKand Three”
UK consumer magazines: From mass-market to community
25 January 2024Magazines are in the final phase of industrial-scale print volumes, with the era of artisan print magazines already highly visible and blooming, celebrating the reader’s tangible experience of the design and rich content, drawn by the brand’s authority.
Publishers’ online revenue models have diversified by attracting third-party sources—advertisers, campaign partners and affiliates—alongside a relatively tepid commitment to audience-led revenue models, with exceptions.
Publishers seeking a sustainable digital future by circa 2030 will need to focus more on audiences than on advertisers, leveraging core brands across multiple channels to build community, with print playing a narrower, lucrative and much-loved role.

Enders Analysis was mentioned in The Bookseller on "Price discrimination key to combatting book price stagnation, says Enders"
22 January 2024Enders described a “cost crisis” for many publishers due to two decades of “eroding real prices” for trade books. When seen in the context of an increasingly competitive market for people’s attention, with free or low-priced entertainment and information options, books are also limited by how much prices can go up.
But prices need to rise, according to Enders. There is little slack in the cost structure of publishers as staff and author pay is already generally low, but it proposes price discrimination based on sales channel, format and special editions as a way forward. “This would enable publishers to get a better average price, while still leaving squeezed and price-sensitive readers with low-cost options,” Enders said.
