As Dori Media arrives in Cannes with its biggest-ever non-scripted slate, including new game shows and relationship formats, CEO Nadav Palti shares his perspectives on the sector, noting that current market conditions “are creating even more opportunities.”

Risk aversion, IP management, YouTube-first rollouts, and creator collaborations are top of mind for executives navigating the global format business today.

Seven.One Studios International is prioritizing “bold and distinctive” format IPs this MIPCOM to combat risk-aversion and play to its strengths, Tobias Schulze, SVP of global sales, tells ScreenMDM.

Paramount Global alum Katie Pike joined Primitives earlier this year as director of sales and acquisitions, tasked with building upon the impressive track record of the Belgian indie’s curated slate, which includes the fast-growing 99 to Beat and the buzzy adventure reality competition Terrain: Battle of the Flags.

Ahead of Banijay Entertainment’s first MIPCOM since completing its All3Media merger, James Townley, chief content officer for development, kicks off our Format Zone strand of ScreenMDM Talks, weighing in on sourcing breakthrough new IP on YouTube and from producers around the world in the quest for the “formats of tomorrow.”
