9/26 - What's a Pitch Deck, and Why Do I Need One? In the room: Tracy Swedlow, editor-in-chief of InteractiveTV Today (ITVT), producer, writer, and creator of TV, The Musical (tv-the-musical.com), developer of compelling pitch decks for theatrical productions; and Joe Nelms, award-winning playwright with a background in advertising and marketing (BBDO, Grey, Warner Bros.), and founder of the boutique design agency Great Big Stuff (GreatBigStuff.nyc). Projects never seem to happen these days without a solid pitch deck to help promote your product, whether it's a widget or a work of art. We'll talk about what goes into an effective pitch deck, the different scenarios where one is needed and how to tailor your presentation to the circumstance and the person you are pitching. It's all about blending storytelling, visual design and strategic positioning to help plays and musicals attract investors, producers and audiences. You might find it helpful!
