description

This session puts two models in the room. On one side, a traditional distribution company with deep market relationships and a proven track record of maximising rights value. On the other, a platform operating outside the classical model – leaner, faster, built for the digital economy. The question is not which model wins. It is what each can concretely deliver for independent producers in 2026 and onwards in financing, in reach, in revenue.
The real opportunity lies in a closer alliance between producers and distributors. As new distribution channels multiply, the most agile independents are those who build partnerships early aligning rights strategy, audience intelligence and revenue expectations from the outset. This session maps what that collaboration looks like in practice, with straight talk and numbers.
