Apple’s marketing of Apple TV+ is putrid

Apple TV+ has a ton of compelling original series but seems to have poor marketing.
For all the effort Apple has expended, and for all the cultural excitement around Ted Lasso during its three-season run, it has won nearly 500 Emmys… while attracting just 0.2% of the total TV viewing in the U.S.
The trailers for Apple TV+ series often suck compared to the quality of the actual series.
Apple fails to use social media well and high-level influencers to widely promote Apple TV+ series.
Apple needs to up its Apple TV+ marketing game if it cares to have people actually watch the content on which they’ve spent and continue spending billions.
Apple TV+ has high pedigree programming but so relatively few viewers, despite an estimated 25 million paid subscribers.
Shows featuring Natalie Portman, Idris Elba, and Colin Farrell launch and even get renewed without ever quite grazing the zeitgeist.
'It seems like Apple TV wants to be seen as a platform that's numbers-agnostic,' says Ashley Ray, comedian, TV writer, and host.
Apple Original Films unveiled a new documentary offering a window into the seismic.
Apple TV+ announced the first all-access docuseries exploring the World Series Championship.

Current trends in cybersecurity include AI-driven attacks, zero-trust security models, quantum threats, and ransomware evolution.
The demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to skyrocket in 2024, with a global shortage of 3.5 million cybersecurity professionals, making it one of the most lucrative fields in tech.

The convergence of these two fields is crucial to drive innovation while maintaining safety in a world where AI and other disruptive technologies continue to reshape industries.
While cybersecurity is becoming increasingly critical, software engineering remains a solid and essential career choice, especially with the rise of AI and cloud computing.
For those looking to make a significant impact on the future of digital security, cybersecurity is the field to watch in 2024.
The demand for cybersecurity experts has never been greater, so professionals should take the leap and explore courses and certifications to position themselves for successful careers in protecting the digital world.
