At this webinar we focused on economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis. Coming from a sales and licensing perspective, the discussion reflected on the year of the pandemic and how challenges were mitigated, delving into rights-managed and royalty-free models (the two key types of rights licensing).
We also looked at the relationship with clients and other key people during this time, and what observations could be drawn. Most importantly, we took a positive look at opportunities and areas of recovery and growth for 2021, as well as content trends going forwards.
