Brands are smarter, producers are more creative, and content creators are more likely to think of brand partners long before the first script is finalized. Thus, all links in this content food chain now understand that their audiences/consumers/buyers share common strands of DNA that are used to create the content itself and make for a good investment. So now more than ever, it makes good business sense for brands to give financial support to entertainment content at different times along its creation, production, and distribution cycle. Knowing that you and corporate America share a common target audience is one thing. Cutting the deal and getting goods, services, and money from them is quite another.

This workshop examines the variety of deals a content creator might strike with a brand to secure support for production and distribution of content. Ten attendee-submitted questions or scenarios will be selected for review and discussion over a 90 minute session. Bring your notebooks.
