The film/TV industry is unique to say the least. Instead of selling physical products like soda, sneakers, or shampoo, we’re selling an experience and a means for people to escape, if just momentarily, from everyday life. Each piece of content has an individual set of values and message it provides to the viewer, which makes this industry both immensely challenging, dynamic, and exciting!I started my career at a litigation consulting firm where I was exposed to the fundamentals of the film business, and from there I earned my MBA in Entertainment Management. Now my focus is on launching successful media-related business initiatives and creating/acquiring curated content to maximize reach, revenue, and profitability of each company I work with. My vast experience has allowed me to cultivate relationships with some amazing people who are both creative and business-savvy, and has afforded me the opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in the industry.Additionally, my continual drive to learn and fascination with content and its delivery keeps me up to date on the latest trends and how this industry is rapidly changing.Some of my areas of expertise include:✔ Executing multidisciplinary projects, identifying issues, and creating project plans to drive growth and value ✔ Analyzing and implementing strategic communication plans to transform vision into strategic launches✔ Leveraging insights and refining processes to drive performance and optimize platforms ✔ Defining goals and growth strategy based on the competitive landscape and current trends✔ Negotiating global license agreements for film and television content on a VOD, EST, SVOD, AVOD, DTC, Pay TV, Basic, Non-Theatrical, and Hotel basis✔ Negotiating carriage agreements for app-based OTT streaming add-on channelsWant to learn more about what I do?
