Discover the techniques professionals use to ensure winning outcomes for every pitch !
Award-winning film and television producer, and music industry manager, Ron Brown has developed proven techniques for ensuring his pitches succeed every time. Whether pitching film, television or internet concepts for investor funding, sponsorship or product placement deals; musical artists and bands for publishing, recording or live concert deals, or even yourself for that sought-after entertainment industry job, this Workshop will teach you Brown's time-tested techniques to help you win every time.
If you've ever had to 'cold call' a prospective investor, advertising marketing or public relations executive, or present your ideas to a panel of assessors, you'll know how nerve-racking it is to try to verbally deliver your ideas concisely and clearly under pressure.
And yet one slip will signal to your prospect that you are not completely confident about the success and integrity of your project. Failure will follow as you fail to engage and convince the prospect. Under the pressures of time and dealing with high-powered strangers, nerves take over and it becomes harder, often impossible, to sound confident and to get all the information across clearly and concisely.
The creator of the popular Finance Your Independent Film and Get A Media Job workshops, Ron Brown, has been successfully pitching film, television, musical and exhibition projects for more than 15 years. In that time he has refined and honed his techniques for finding the right prospects, pre-qualifying them before calling or presenting, and effectively delivering his project's strengths in an appealing and convincing way.
Brown has raised more than $1.5 million in sponsorship and product placement fees alone, as well as financing two national touring exhibitions, three international television series and two feature length movies. In fact Brown credits his successful pitching techniques for being able to work and live in the entertainment industry as an independent producer with over 1000 films and videos to his credit. He has never relied on government grants or handouts, and has produced all his projects without taking one penny of government money !
These short, affordable and very accessible workshops are a sure-fire way that you can increase your success rate in the entertainment industry, too.
As a participant, you will be taught all of Brown's tools, tips and techniques and you will workshop your own pitch for a project. By the end of this course, you will feel more confident, better equipped and more able to seek finance, attract partners and sponsors, and achieve the results you dream of for your creative work.
