When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit companies – all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity – that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. “In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.

Media and entertainment: growth of Asia (China is the place to be)

Infographic about media and entertainment market in terms of value

Was reading this article Digital to drive media growth in ‘golden age for the empowered consumer’ and decided to show the info in a slightly different way.

This led to the creation of my first infographic.

Media and entertainment: Asia’s growth (China will soon be the market leader of the APAC region in terms of market value).

Thanks to the data provided by “brandrepublic” and “PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Wilkofsky Gruen Associates” I did some maths and stats, some charts and arts ;) and realized the below infographic.

Main message? China is the place to be!

I strongly recommend to read this article as well: Digital to drive media growth in ‘golden age for the empowered consumer’

Thought this word cloud visualization of my expertise should be pretty straight forward and give an idea (at glance) of my expertise and what I do :)

Will see if it works :)
