SUB-SCALE ASSETS
MUST CONSOLIDATE
INCREASING DEMAND FOR
TRUSTED INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY RESETS ECONOMICS
Cultural media assets
remain sub-scale, under
monetised and capital
constrained
As AI floods the internet
with content, trusted
cultural brands become
more valuable to marketers
AI and automation help
teams produce more
without costs rising at
the same rate
Vinyl is a disruptor in the Australian media landscape
Vinyl is building a new kind of media company: investing in quality publishing and
trusted cultural assets, while using technology, scale and broader commercial capability
to make those assets work harder
Traditional media is under pressure, giving Vinyl the chance to acquire quality cultural,
digital assets at attractive entry points
Vinyl’s acquisition edge: buy overlooked digital assets, protect the downside,
then use technology, talent and scale to grow them
Key takeaways
Disciplined investment in sub-scale cultural assets

Visit Victoria
Winter
Melbourne After Dark: when the
sun goes down the vibes go up.
From 1am steak frites at late-night
brasseries to NGV’s late-night
sessions where fine art meets live
beats, we explore the culture,
food, and experiences that keep
Melbourne awake when other
cities sleep.
We created an editorial and social
series that authentically tapped
into the audience’s passion points
(music, food, drink, entertainment,
gaming, art). The long-form
editorials were cut down into
social carousels and amplified
across the relevant social
platforms to engage audiences
who consume their content
differently.
Visit Victoria wanted to influence
NSW and Qld audiences to visit
Victoria during the off-peak winter
months by showcasing the unique
after dark experiences that
Victoria has to offer.

Busy Broods’ are drowning in
decision fatigue, but life doesn’t
have to be that serious. The

the best day of your life - giving
living proof that with Maltesers
Duos, indecision doesn’t have
to be stressful… it can actually

GROWING AUDIENCE
Vinyl expands audience reach and
maintains viewership through its
premium content, technology-
enabled best practice and unique
cultural assets

Recurring partnerships deepen the moat:
Each ‘diagnose, activate and measure’ cycle
builds client-specific intelligence, improves
outcomes and makes the relationship
increasingly valuable over time
Why Vinyl is uniquely positioned to achieve this
17
Hard to assemble:
Difficult to combine a large number
of cultural assets into an integrated
and immersive ecosystem
Scale matters:
Meaningful brand connections at a
competitive price point are difficult
to deliver without scale
Requires technology as
core capability:
Internal processes aligned to current
technology, supported by AI-enabled
publishing workflows and tools
Requires both mass & bespoke content
creation capability:
Social media is a small component of adaptive
media campaigns, not a direct competitor
Not platform dependent:
Adaptive media is not dependent on any
single social media platform, publisher or
algorithm
A single operating model built for profitable growth
