We’re in an age where entertainment providers are trying their best to give the highest value to their customers and create a strong relationship with them. For example, Nintendo Direct, E3, has totally changed to become a full season of video game announcements, making the E3 2021 schedule more packed than ever before. Similarly, Apple’s event California Streaming took place yesterday, where the company unveiled its lineup of iPhone 13 and other products.
The fight right now is to capture a place in the mind of the consumer and, Netflix obviously won’t be watching in silence. After all, it is undoubtedly the world’s biggest streaming platform! So, it was only a matter of time until Netflix announced its first-ever global event, “TUDUM,” to give its audience a glimpse of what’s planned up for the upcoming months and especially 2022.
What is TUDUM And When is it Taking Place?
The event will air for free online on September 25 at 9 AM (PT) and will run for three hours. The stream will be available on Netflix’s YouTube channels, in addition to Twitter and Twitch.
