- The Commissioner: Insider knowledge of how commissioners work, think and act and the importance of understanding differing channel needs.
- Creative Thinking Skills: Think Big! How to create scale and ambition and motivate your team. Creative thinking and ideas generation.
Joint Managing Directors of TRCmedia, Claire Scally and Margaret Scott say: “SuperSizer was devised to meet an identified need for more returnable series and ideas of scale from the Nations and Regions.
We are very excited to launch the programme and are confident that the training and access gained on the course will be of huge value to Indies looking to secure high value commissions.”
