SUCCESS 2.0: WHAT IS A HIT IN A MULTI-PLATFORM WORLD? (4:00pm - 4:45pm)Sponsored by  Salon 5 It was so much simpler way back when (like, say, two years ago), when the old maxim “You live and die by the ratings” still held a kernel of truth, and those series that racked up good numbers were often rewarded with renewals. Now, the lines between linear and streaming are blurring, and a series can live – and die – on multiple platforms at practically a moment’s notice. What does success look like in this new paradigm, and what role can new platforms and methods of distribution play in creating a brand? Hear from execs who have navigated the many emerging paths towards success in today’s entertainment ecosystem, and learn how you can do the same. Moderating:

Scotland has been undergoing its own accessible revolution over the last 5 years. Alison Smith (Accessibility Coordinator and Consultant) will join Deborah and Amanda to fill us in on what of the tools already out there have been adapted and are working across production, investment, marketing and festivals.
