Ep05: Making Transmedia Make Money: Jennifer Wilson: StoryLabs & Screen Australia Clinic

Summary: Making Transmedia Make Money - Why you are unlikely to make any money unless you are willing to deal with the small stuff, lots of it. Jennifer explores many digital business models and shows how they can be applied to almost any Multi Platform and Transmedia project. Case studies will feature non-commercial projects such as China Heart & Making Australia Happy and how they could have been commercialised. A presentation by Jennifer Wilson given at the inaugural Screen Australia & StoryLabs digital ignition lab held in Robertson in late November 2011. Podcast Recorded and Produced by Gary P Hayes. http://storylabs.us/mentors/#JENNIFER-WILSON Jennifer Wilson is a Director of The Project Factory – a multiplatform media company.
