Be platform agnostic

Content creators are moving from a single platform to multiple channels to reach broader audience. Explore strategies and tools for repurposing content – converting livestreams to video highlights or news features to podcasts – to extend its shelf life and reach while making it adaptable.

Holding power to account

There are increasing calls for governments to legislate on the role of social media platforms in moderating content, and provide transparency in how content is pushed to users. Industry leaders share insights into the role of big tech in a post-truth society.

Monetisation

What price are people willing to pay for the content they consume? With a non-stop feed of content at our fingertips, how can content creators stand out? Discover the best approaches to monetisation, and how to not only create the best content but get paid to do so.

User-generated content

A community-led shift is underway, with studios and brands increasingly turning to user-generated content (UGC). These creative UGC campaigns provide a unique way for outlets to engage with their audiences. Explore strategies of the UGC playbook and learn how to empower users.
