KMW Global Marathon presents inspiration talk with Nathalie Wogue "2020: the new Golden Age of unscripted formats"

September 14 | 12:30 – 12:50
On September 14, at 12:30 (Kyiv time, UTC +3) KMW Global Marathon welcomes everyone to join the inspiration talk with Nathalie Wogue, a star guest of the forum. Nathalie is a content creator, developer, buyer and strategist, and is known as one of the leading entertainment format experts in the international marketplace.

Former Head of Development at Fremantle France, Global VP Formats at IMG Entertainment and Chief International Officer at Endemol France, she helped launch iconic formats that are still successfully aired. Then running her own company, she has consulted for major players like ABC Studios, Fox, Canal+ or RTL as well as independent producers.

Nathalie also oversaw the MIPFormats' program for several years, now #1 event on unscripted formats at MIPTV in Cannes. She is also a judge in prestigious competitions like the Emmy Awards, The Rose d'Or and C21 Award.

The interviewer of the talk is Maria Chiara Duranti, founder and CEO of FormatBiz, an Italian News Headline focused on international TV formats, TV Markets and TV Industry since 2009.

The conversation will touch the following topics:

  • what's going on in the format industry in general – some global trends and insights;
  • how the pandemic influences the creativity, launch of new titles and formats' ability to travel;
  • what's in demand now: genres, topics, source of inspiration for format developers;
  • what now becomes an integral part of each show;
  • how to work even more with the international markets and to be bold in these troubled times, when the ability to travel is physically limited due to the pandemics;
  • why the year 2020 is called "the new Golden Age of unscripted formats", despite its uncertain nature for the global content industry.
During the talk, we will also learn some insights on the US format business and TV industry in general from Nathalie, as she worked on both continents and has recently moved from France to LA, so her European point of view about the American TV landscape is quite unique.
