Invoke mentors media pros at Banff World Television Festival
Thursday, June 4th, 2009
From June 7 to 10 the Banff World Television Festival will celebrate 30 years of bringing together television and new media’s most creative and innovative business people. After speaking as a panelist at the Banff nextMEDIA conference, Invoke’s business strategist and partner Dario Meli will join the World Television Festival as a new media mentor for Telefilm Canada’s inaugural TV 360 program. Bringing together a select few individuals from media, film and television, the TV 360 program is designed to teach industry professionals how to introduce and pitch their projects to both national and international buyers. As a TV360 mentor, Dario will be there to instruct them on the best way to accomplish this.
Dario will also have the pleasure of working alongside two other new media influencers including David Gale, Executive Vice President of New Media at MTV Networks, and Dante Anderson, Vice President of Product Development at Kuma Reality Games. Together they’ll work to prepare all TV360 teams for the final project pitch in front of a board of entertainment executives.
From New York Internet Week to Banff World Television Festival, social media has swept the world. Without question, it’s now imperative that employees in the media industry know how to harness and leverage the power of social media. Invoke is thrilled to have the opportunity to share our expertise with this new generation of media professionals.
