Coming Up: MIPCOM

By October 8, 2018Featured News, News

Fresh off the heels of last month’s Cartoon Forum, where 9 Story won the award for Investor/ Distributor of the Year are two of the largest industry events, MIPJunior and MIPCOM, the world’s leading entertainment content markets.

Between October 13 – 18th key broadcasters, distributors, production companies and influential industry figures all converge in Cannes, France, for six days that will ultimately determine next year’s new line-up of TV shows.  

MIPJunior (Oct 13-14) takes place in advance of MIPCOM (Oct 15-18). While MIPCOM hosts a broader spectrum of companies, representing all TV genres and demographics, MIPJunior is dedicated solely to kids content.

This year’s MIPJunior focuses on the theme of “SMALL WORLD, BIG MONEY”, a relevant exploration of the ever changing landscape of children’s content and kids media consumption habits.     

“Children are early adopters, making the kids industry a cradle of disruption. As viewing patterns are shifting rapidly, revenues are shifting in all directions—nothing is stable, nor steadily growing. It’s increasingly about finding strong, innovative content, with serious investment required to keep the attention of younger audiences. The kids sector is showing the way in innovation at a time when the ground keeps moving” – via  MIPJunior Programme Overview

The 9 Story team is currently in final preparation mode for both MIPJunior and MIPCOM, where their presence is guaranteed to be bigger and better than ever, following the company’s corporate rebrand, its Toronto studio rebrand to Brown Bag Films and the acquisition of Out of the Blue Enterprises. 9 Story has moved its stand to R7.E75, a much bigger space to accommodate our growing team.

Along with a revamped booth and a variety of new titles, 9 Story Media Group will be represented at no less than three industry panels, by our first ever CCO, Angela Santomero and Senior Director of Distribution, Federico Vargas.
