Ideas Development Workshop

Duration: 1 day


Overview:

Drawing on key examples, this is a highly practical session where you will build an idea into a multiplatform proposition, define the workflow, metadata, interactivity and return on investment, try out projects on other people, and build them collaboratively. It will blend the need for new audience experiences with the mechanisms for delivering them technologically, and always focus on audience engagement.



By the end of the session you’ll be able to start production, or know exactly why an idea won’t make it. And that may be the most valuable learning of all.
