Gavin Bridge is a media strategist who doesn't just analyze the industry—he shapes it. With a career spanning high-level analysis at Variety to executive leadership at Amazon MGM Studios, Gavin offers a rare dual perspective: the rigor of a data analyst and the P&L reality of a media operator.
The Operator (Execution)
Most recently, Gavin served as a media executive at Amazon MGM Studios (2024–2025), where he was in charge of FAST channels based on Studio properties. In this role, he didn't just study the algorithm; he leveraged it. Gavin successfully launched 15 new channels, optimized a massive content portfolio, and drove double-digit growth in viewing hours. He knows "the machine" because he helped run it—navigating the internal greenlight processes, rights complexities, and strategic pivots required to succeed inside the world’s largest content ecosystem.
The Analyst (Theory)
Before his tenure at Amazon, Gavin was the Senior Media Analyst for Variety Intelligence Platform (VIP+). There, he became the industry’s "truth-teller," authoring 27 acclaimed reports that correctly forecasted the rise of FAST, the sports betting integration with entertainment, and the generational "relevance gap" long before they became headlines.
The Strategic Partner (Strategy)
Now, as the founder of FASTMaster Intelligence, Gavin brings this combined expertise back to the market. He helps brands move beyond "survival mode" to build sustainable growth strategies.
