TRC drives global ambition with new creative development programme for indies based in Northern Ireland
Date Posted: October 16, 2024
Leading broadcast training provider TRC announces new Northern Ireland Screen backed creative development programme SuperSizing Global Sales aimed at indies based in Northern Ireland.
This innovative new initiative builds on the success of TRC’s Scotland based Supersizing Development Teams programme, aimed at equipping indies with the tools and insights to think bigger, bolder, and more creatively.
With a focus on global opportunities, Supersizing Global Sales will provide a structured framework to enhance creativity and scale up ideas for international markets.
Over the course of four months, participating indies will benefit from group training and one-to-one consultancy, with personalised guidance and support to navigate the global marketplace effectively and formulate a bespoke sales strategy. In addition to this, representatives from each company will have the opportunity to attend Content London and one other international market.
In this first edition, SuperSizing Global Sales will work with four Northern Irish indies. Participants on the programme are:
- Michael Fanning, Patricia Moore, Laura McConnell and Andrew Pugh from Below The Radar
- Jane Kelly, Bec Milligan and Muireann McGinty from Big Mountain Productions
- Abigail Keyes, Edward Hart and Hannah McMillan from Rare TV
- Matthew Worthy, Tom Doyle-Wood, Shannon Hamilton and Sophie Hagan from Stellify Media
Claire Scally, Managing Director of TRC commented:
“Having successfully supported close to 100 ambitious Development Executives in the Nations and Regions over the past 8 years with SuperSizer and eight Scottish teams with SuperSizing Development Teams, we wanted to broaden this programme’s scope to focus on global opportunities. This intensive course will incorporate key training on creative teams and highlight key areas for global success. We look forward to supporting the four selected indies in Northern Ireland and beyond.”
Richard Williams, Chief Executive of Northern Ireland Screen said:
“We welcome the opportunity to support local indies based in Northern Ireland through TRC’s Supersizing Global Sales development programme. For the four selected local indies, this initiative will equip them with the skills to navigate and capitalise on global opportunities, ensuring they are both recognised and celebrated on the world stage.”
