Encouraging innovation in programme-making

Building the client base, and increasing revenues per client

*Identifying new platforms & markets where existing content can be exploited

Also mandatory are the following personal qualities:

• Commercial sense

• Entrepreneurial mindset

• Ability to impress, at a high level
