Sun, 16 Feb 2025 07:00:00 +0000 https://efm-industry-insights.podigee.io/67-from-local-to-universal-serial-storytelling-for-global-audiences 547dccba98c2816635fec9482d0e85f0 Industry Insights – The EFM Podcast is presented by the European Film Market of the Berlinale. Hosted by editor and journalist Michael Schneider, it delves deep into the rapidly evolving film industry. In this episode, we bring together a diverse group of industry experts for a dynamic conversation about the ever-evolving world of TV series. We delve into what makes a series truly international—what allows a show to break through cultural and language barriers and resonate with audiences worldwide? Is it the warmth of relatable characters that audiences are seeking during challenging times, or is it the exploration of social-political issues and dystopian themes that capture our collective attention? Ultimately, the answer lies in universally compelling stories that speak to viewers beyond the confines of a single market. While it may be a tougher feat for comedy, there's a clear call for future series to transcend these boundaries and reach a global audience. In this discussion, Anna Rohde, Steve Matthews, Maria Cervera, and Paul Telegdy offer their unique perspectives on the international series market, providing predictions on where global audiences are headed next. They also explore the current trends shaping the industry, including the impact of financial shifts. Tune in to hear the experts tackle the future of series content and its journey across the globe.

Houd IX, de afkorting van immersive experiences, in de gaten. Deze technologie die we voorheen kende als 'extended reality' (XR) of het 'metaverse' moet de komende jaren flink gaan groeien in Nederland, met dank aan verschillende miljoeneninvesteringen. Daarover praten Joe van Burik en Ben van der Burg in deze aflevering van BNR Digitaal. IX krijgt nu al een investering van  2,4 miljoen euro vanuit het Regionaal Investeringsfonds mbo. Die gaat naar OASIS, een nationaal consortium van 22 instanties in media en entertainment, waaronder NEP en ITV Studios, én zes grote mbo's. Waar liggen de kansen om concreet stappen te maken in de wereld van Immersive Experiences? Wat betekent dat voor de ontwikkeling van VR- en AR-toepassingen, die vooral voor consumenten toch al lange tijd een niche zijn? We vragen het aan Rufus Baas, programmadirecteur van OASIS, en Lindy Damen, maakster van duurzame ‘ervaringen' bij EVRgreen Studio. Prime Video De Nederlandse streamingmarkt is behoorlijk vol. Met grote spelers als Netflix, HBO, Disney+ en Videoland is het vechten om marktaandeel. Hoe is het nog mogelijk om je echt te onderscheiden op deze markt? En welke rol spelen Nederlandse producties? Sinds 2023 is het voor grote streamers verplicht om 5% van hun Nederlandse jaaromzet te investeren in producties van eigen bodem. Dat werpt inmiddels al zijn vruchten af. Series als Undercover en de documentaires over Lil' Kleine en Team Jumbo Visma zijn enkele voorbeelden van producties die voortkomen uit deze maatregel. Waar loopt de Nederlandse markt voor warm? Dat en meer vragen we aan Kaja Wolffers, hoofd content en country lead Benelux bij Prime Video.   Startup-investeringen willen nog niet groeien Het aantal investeringen in Nederlandse startups wil maar niet doorgroeien. In Q2 van 2024 werd er ruim 400 miljoen opgehaald. Los van het extreem goede eerste kwartaal (ruim één miljard) valt Q2 van 2024 in lijn met het gezapige 2023. Die cijfers zijn afkomstig uit een rapport van onder meer Dutch Startup Association, Dealroom, Techleap en een aantal andere bedrijven. Hoe komt het dat we als Nederland toch blijven steken in de 'herfst' van 2023? En lukt het ons met deze cijfers nog wel om de rest van Europa bij te benen? Dat bespreken we met Thomas Mensink, CEO en investerdeer bij Golden Egg Check, ook betrokken bij de startup-scene in Nederland. Meer podcasts over tech?

Author Matthew Blake joined the show to talk about his debut novel, one of the most anticipated of the year, Anna O.Matthew Blake is a London-based author who has also worked as a screenwriter with the BBC, ITV Studios, and numerous other UK indies. Matthew worked as a researcher and speechwriter at the Palace of Westminster. He studied English at Durham University and Merton College.  A fan of writing and reading horror since he was a boy, he keeps busy between writing and raising his daughter. Author Matthew Blake will be available from his home in London for an eye-opening interview on Wednesday, January 24th. 

Anna O by Mathew Blake is the wholly original story of a young woman who seemingly commits a double murder while sleepwalking (and then never opens her eyes again), and the forensic psychiatrist who alone can get to the truth.   The much-anticipated debut novel is a standalone masterpiece of suspense, intrigue and mystery which generated buzz among publishers even before it was bought in a feverish auction prompting a rights frenzy with a record-breaking 16 international offers within 48 hours of submission.   It resulted from extensive research by the author into the rare psychosomatic disorder known to neurologists as “resignation syndrome” (first reported in the late 1990s) and is inspired by real-life cases of people who commit crimes while sleepwalking, fall into a deep sleep and never wake up.   Sleep is the one genuinely universal human experience.  The average person spends  33 years of their life asleep.  It is a second life, a world we know little about.  What might you have done while you were asleep?   Matthew Blake is a London-based author who has also worked as a screenwriter with the BBC, ITV Studios, and numerous other UK indies.

Pat Younge is a former chief creative officer of BBC Television and a Non Executive Director at ITV Studios Ltd. Amongst his many roles he's also currently Chair of the Cardiff University governing body and runs his own production company. In our interview we discussed why he is also chair of the British Broadcasting Challenge - why it was set up, the future of public service broadcasting, funding and local journalism. We reflect on his career, why he received elocution lessons and how diversity in broadcasting has changed. We also touch upon the BBC's coverage of the Israel-Gaza war. "I, as a black person, also have a real empathy with what Jewish staff members are going through....... If you are a Jew working at the BBC or a Jewish person in the UK, when you see those scenes from Gaza—the dreadful, horrific things that Hamas did, and I have no problems calling that a terrorist attack—I can understand why a Jewish person will see those things in a very different way. Someone who doesn't have the lived experience or the family intergenerational experience of what it's like to be targeted for something you have no control over."Please financially support the podcast by signing up here: www.patreon/BeebWatch @BeebRoger@RogerBolton@mastodonapp.ukemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Marketing is generally a one-way conversation. You tell your audience what to buy, period, end of story. But what if we could change that dynamic and actually give our audience some control over our campaigns?You might argue that you already listen to the voice of the customer through surveys and testimonials. But have you ever really used their feedback to make a game-changing decision in your business? Well, today's the day we flip the script and let the audience take charge.On this episode of Remarkable, we're soaking up marketing lessons from the UK hit series Love Island. Because Love Island is a show that relies on its audience to make those critical decisions, audience members can literally decide whether an islander will stay or go. This might be why the show earned itself a dedicated following. Without that audience participation, it wouldn't be the Love Island we know and…well, love. So tune in as we unpack the marketing gold that is Love Island. We'll show you how to hook your audience on your content by tapping into the power of their input. Get ready to learn how to make your customers an integral part of your decision-making process and create an unbreakable connection with them. It's time to let your audience take control and revolutionize your marketing approach.About Love IslandLove Island is a reality tv/dating game show where beautiful single people are invited to stay in a tropical villa together in search of love. Drama unfolds when new islanders arrive, they're given challenges, or contestants fail to match up and get kicked off the island. One couple will win a cash prize. ($100,000) They often also leave with sponsor and branding deals, and lots of new Instagram followers.It was originally a popular series in the UK created by ITV Studios (2005 and 2006 was Celebrity Love Island, then returned in 2015) The U.S. started its own version in 2019. Now 22 versions of Love Island exist worldwide.About our guest, Kailey RaymondKailey Raymond is Director of Enterprise Marketing at Segment. There, she is building a full-funnel Enterprise Marketing motion including ABM, thought leadership, upsell/cross-sell and outbound programs. Prior to Segment, Kailey started the Customer Marketing team at AlphaSense, built local communities and revenue at Hired in both Sales and Field Marketing roles and grew a global community of career transitioners and partners as the second employee of a STEM bootcamp.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Love Island: Give your audience agency in your brand. Ask for their feedback and incorporate it into your marketing. By showing them you're listening and taking action based on their feedback, you show that you care about them. It creates a mutually beneficial relationship and forms a connection. Love Island actually has its own app. And people watching can vote for their favorite couples, as well as decide on who stays on the island and who gets kicked off. So every viewer has some power over the fate of each islander, so much so that the show becomes quite addictive. Ian says, “Giving the audience agency is ridiculously powerful.” Get your audience involved in the decision making and they'll be hooked on your marketing.Engage with your audience in real time. The goal is to respond and interact with your audience in as quick of a timeline as possible. So build the muscle of quick response times on your marketing team. And leverage AI to speed up that process. Being able to interact with your audience provides a personalized, human experience. On Love Island, producers are sourcing viewer tweets in real time and showing them on screen to add dimension to the show. So as a viewer, the chance that your tweet could be part of the show makes your participation all the more appealing.Quotes*”The show requires engagement, it requires the audience to participate, or it would destroy the fabric of the show. Like, I can make a difference in getting this person voted off. Giving the audience agency is ridiculously powerful.” - Ian Faison*”The real-time audience interaction that they've embedded within the show allows you to feel like you're a part of their journey. It makes you want to watch. Every episode you have vested interest because you could be helpful getting somebody you don't like watching booted off the island or giving them the chance to win a hundred thousand pounds. So I think that they created this special sauce with being able to bring in multiple different channels with social, going along with video at the exact same time, and getting the audience interaction live.” - Kailey Raymond*”You absolutely have to have an on-demand component. You have to have a live component to some of your stuff. But if you're not creating on-demand content that's easily streamable, accessible, multi-platform, you are missing out on a massive demographic.” - Ian FaisonTime Stamps[1:28] Get to know Kailey Raymond, Global Executive Content Marketing Lead at VMware[5:00] Tell me more about Love Island[6:44] What's the story behind how Love Island was made?[10:27] How did Love Island rise above the noise of other reality dating shows?[16:29] How can you leverage key storylines to create interest for your audience?[18:56] What marketing lessons can we glean from Love Island?[25:21] What does Love Island teach us about responding in real time?[30:12] What we can learn from viewer statistics[33:58] How does Love Island use partner marketing?LinksWatch Love IslandConnect with Kailey on LinkedInLearn more about SegmentAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

This episode of the podcast I have someone I have chased to come on the pod since the very first episode.  It is 'ITV Studio Australia's' superstar EP and secret weapon. 'Jaala Webster.'  Truth be told Jaala is usually locked away working on shows like 'I'm a Celeb,' 'The Voice' and 'Love Island Australia.' Especially at the times I usually feature these shows.  It made sense to record this episode in the non ratings and this will be my last episode of the summer series before I am back fully on deck for 2023.  Jaala and I met when I was in 'Big Brother' through an unusual circumstance - as she produced and voiced a side show of that series called 'Little Sister.' Which allowed audiences to get to know heir favourite housemates a little bit more . Of course I was a housemate and she was the voice of the title roll but there was something extraordinary magical about the impact she had on the housemates and the you as an audience.  We will go behind the scenes on all the shows that has made Jaala the superstar we know today and I am sure you will love her insights and stories. All simply amazing and a great listen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fergus Campbell is the Head of Commercial Development for ITV Studios Global Commercial. In this interview, Fergus joins us live on the set from Ninja Warrior UK, and talks all about ITV's Ninja Warrior parks across the UK. When bringing brands that fans know and love into location-based entertainment, Fergus shares that this builds connective tissue across the intellectual property that allows fans to experience their favorite shows in real life. This amplifies brand advocacy and appreciation for the brands in ways that extend beyond the television screen. When guests visit a Ninja Warrior park, they get to test their physical strength and feel like they are on the show themselves. Fergus also talks about the importance of technology, and the importance of slicing and dicing data across multiple locations that help them better understand guest behaviors. He also stresses that when guests are booking times to visit, the process should be such a seamless experience that they don't even think about the platform that they used to book.

19th Aug Metaverse Everything!

1960s TV puppet sensation ‘Thunderbirds' is coming back..and heading straight for digital.   The classic Gerry Anderson creation is now owned by ITV Studios, who've announced a partnership with a gaming platform due to launch this summer.   Thunderbirds International Rescue Club is gearing up for launch and promises immersive ‘Metaverse' experiences, an online game, digital collectibles including NFTs and more.   Despite the enduring popularity of the characters, I'm not sure the traditional Thunderbirds fans are likely to embrace the new technology - but given the series is actually set in the 2060s then I can see why they're giving it a go.     Fake profiles on Twitter could be set to scupper Elon Musk's proposed takeover deal.   He's pushing for more information about fake accounts and bots on the platform - Twitter insists around 5% of accounts are fake, Musk has questioned the figure.   I can't see this deal going through.     And could Artificial Intelligence help reduce the time we spend in traffic jams?   Researchers from Aston University have created a system that scans live video footage and adjusts the lights to compensate, to keep traffic moving.   Inadequate traffic signalling is a major cause of congestion and in tests, the researchers say this new system worked better than anything else.

Today on the podcast I have the 'Winner of The Voice Australia 2022' contestant, Lachie Gill.

This season of The Voice Australia has dominated the ratings on Channel 7 and the team at ITV Studios continue to deliver a show that is popular amongst families and is still event television.
