There has been a significant shift in how audiences expect to connect with brands online, pivoting away from the traditional model of social media and into the world of digital entertainment. Dash Hudson's Co-founder and CEO, Thomas Rankin, describes digital entertainment as "the product of the collision of technology and culture".

This paradigm grants marketers permission to get back to what they do best: being creative – and Dash Hudson is the only solution in market to bridge creativity and data.

"TikTok is entertainment. It has fundamentally transformed how digital marketers engage consumers and is top-of-mind for the CEOs and CMOs we work with.
