With the launches of Food Network in 2015, SBS Viceland in late 2016 and a major ramp up in its SBS ON DEMAND content offering, SBS is evolving its approach to reach more diverse audiences around Australia and opened a door for more original, local content to be developed and broadcast.

Previously Chief Digital Officer at SBS, Marshall is an advocate of digital innovation and its importance to broadcasters, understanding the changes content creators should prepare for in the commissioning of Australian content.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Marshall and Screen Producers Australia CEO, Matt Deaner focus on the important questions facing our broadcasters and producers, as today’s audiences shift with an ever increasing desire to consume content on a variety of different platforms.
