Entertainment

Advertising
Track the movement of advertising budgets across brands, agencies, media owners and ad tech. Follow an account from the initial review to the appointment.
Our technology
We built the Wires around a question that outlasts the news cycle. When a deal is announced, what can a reader actually establish about it?

Our software groups reports about the same development. A reader can move from the Desk briefing to the outlets behind it and compare their accounts.
Language models help extract reported terms and draft summaries. Checks look for the parties, currency, units and status. A contract ceiling and a funded order tell different stories.
Company links connect coverage to the Universe. Deal and project records bring together dated evidence, so a reader can see which step has been documented and which questions are still open.
Reader guide
About our publications, our sources and how to get access.
Contact the publisher ↗Four digital publications covering the business of entertainment, defense and frontier technology, energy, and advertising. Each has its own industry desk, company directory, deal ledger and calendar.
Colibri Holdings Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, publishes the Wires under its AXIOM brand. Tobias Jaeger developed and built the publications. The publisher takes responsibility for the material it publishes.
Global Entertainment Wire follows the business behind those industries, including studio acquisitions, financing, licensing and distribution rights. Its company records help you trace ownership across studios, labels, distributors and platforms.
Defense Frontier Cyber Wire covers government procurement, company funding and acquisitions across defense, frontier technology and cybersecurity. Its procurement guides explain the difference between a contract ceiling, an obligation and an option.
New Energy Wire connects energy reporting to power contracts, financing and project records. A project record shows which milestones have dated evidence, including financing and commercial operation.
AdEconomy Wire covers brands, agencies, media owners and advertising technology. Its accounts ledger distinguishes a brief going out to review from an appointment and identifies the client and agency where the reporting names them.
They are companion publications. Global Entertainment Wire covers companies, deals and rights. The AXIOM Global Entertainment Index tracks the market performance of listed entertainment companies. Each has its own website. Visit the Global Entertainment Index.
The Wires follow industry publications, news agencies and company announcements. Depending on the subject, records also draw on filings, procurement notices and other public documents. Open a source link to see who published it and read it in context.
When several outlets report the same development, the Wire groups their coverage. You can compare accounts, check which outlet supplied a detail and follow its link to the original article. An original publisher may require its own subscription.
Software helps group related reports, identify companies and draft summaries from source material. Editorial checks look for problems such as a figure with the wrong unit or a party attached to the wrong deal. Sources remain linked, and readers can flag mistakes for the publisher.
A searchable record of transactions reported on that Wire. Entries can include the parties, the reported value and currency, the stage of the transaction and the source. A reader researching an acquisition can use those fields to distinguish an announcement from a completed deal.
Check the currency, what the number measures and the source passage. A defense award may quote the maximum payable across future orders. An energy contract may specify a price per megawatt-hour. Neither figure alone tells you what has been paid.
The Universe is each Wire’s directory of organisations. A profile brings together the organisation’s activities, recorded relationships and related coverage, with sources where available. Follow a linked company from a story or deal to see its wider context.
It means the Wire has no accepted source recorded for that milestone. A financial-close announcement can support a financing milestone. Construction, permits and commercial operation each need their own evidence.
The Desk is the briefing at the front of each Wire. It brings selected developments together and links them to the underlying coverage. The story view lets you examine the individual reports behind a development.
Choose a publication above to open its home page. There you can view a product tour, see which sections are available and open the plans for that edition. Public industry guides are linked under each publication here.
Each Wire has its own accounts, plans and subscriptions. Choose the publication that covers your sector. Its pricing page sets out individual and team access, supported currencies and the terms that apply.
The individual monthly and annual plans offer eligible readers 14 days of research access. A card is required. The selected plan starts billing when the trial ends unless you cancel beforehand. Check the chosen Wire’s checkout for its price, tax and renewal terms.
Yes. Each publication’s pricing page offers a team enquiry for organisations that need multiple seats. Start on the site your team wants to read so the enquiry goes to the right publication.
Each publication has a calendar for its own industry. Open Calendar on the relevant Wire to look up dates and events. Where a date is estimated, check its status and source before making plans.
Use the contact or corrections link on the publication where you found the item. Include its URL, the specific fact in question and a source for the correction if you have one. Each Wire publishes its corrections process in its terms.
