Alex Johnson reports – A couple of weeks ago I took part in Power to the Pixel, a three day Digital Distribution & Film Innovation Forum in London. I gave a 15 minute presentation on the following issues: As technology shifts, audiences are evolving at a startling rate. Who are they, where are they, and what are they doing? How does the media producer keep up with and define their consumption habits and behaviour in order to create compelling interaction and relevant awareness for their work?

Below is the deck I presented:



I also recommend you check out the rest of the presentations on the Power to the Pixel website. Many thanks to Liz Rosenthal and her team for such a fantastic experience. Any questions or comments please post them below, thanks.

    The first step is action. We can think about doing our projects or start on them. The old saying about showing up is true in this case showing up is taking action.
  • Good stuff, be happy to chat about some of my thoughts on the subject as well.

    Specifically regarding the fear of posting, my advice to people is to just go for it. While the danger is certainly there that you'll post something stupid or not so good, the beauty is that you can always put something newer up that's a better reflection (not as in replacing the old content, but showing an evolution). When I go back and read my old blog entries I cringe a bit, but they're in the past and I figure if someone is really going to judge me on it, then so be it ...
