Anna Marsh, CEO of Studiocanal and deputy CEO and chief content officer of Canal+, said the French media group's wave of acquisitions across two continents has helped it 'challenge the status quo' and strengthen its position during a period of rapid change. She also said there is 'just no room for error' in the fast-moving business. Canal+ Group has completed a series of deals in the past year, according to Variety. Marsh's remarks frame consolidation as a response to competitive pressure in content production and distribution. The comments offer a view into how a major European studio and pay-TV group is using M&A to build scale as global streaming competition intensifies.
