This is the fourth iteration of its premium online pitch initiative, Pitch On Demand (POD). Since 2021, POD has provided producers direct access to key decision-makers from leading broadcasters and platforms to fast-track quality Australian projects.
The streamlined pitching process provides a level playing field for producers of all experience levels to engage with leading commissioners and discover gaps in their current slate. The program is exclusive to SPA members and is just one of the many initiatives designed by SPA to help shape our industry’s future.
After a successful iteration of the initiative in 2023, SPA is excited to announce the return of three premium content commissioners: Oliver Jones, Senior Commissioning Executive, and Carolyn Carbone, International Creative Development from Apple TV+; Lana Greenhalgh, Head of Scripted Originals at Foxtel Group; and Tina McLaren, Senior Commissioner of Scripted plus Shelley Quinn, Commissioner at Warner Bros. Discovery ANZ.
All three premium content commissioners will provide briefs on the types of projects that fit their current slate via 30-minute webinars. Following this, SPA members with relevant original projects can submit one pitch per brief via the submission portal. SPA will then facilitate pitch meetings between shortlisted applicants and key decision-makers from each commissioner.
