Presented by MMA's very own Denise Eriksen, this workshop is for screen creatives looking to sharpen up their approach to successfully promoting their projects...and themselves! Whether you want to increase your chances of getting jobs in the industry or persuade potential buyers, commissioners or collaborators to come in on your creative projects, this session is most definitely for you!

Selling yourself or your project is all about knowing who you are and what your project is.  But, more than that, you need to think of yourself as someone people can relate to and enjoy working with because you have similar values, aims, expectations and aspirations.  To be blunt, it’s about what’s your brand.  

This workshop will show you the way to packaging yourself as a “product” people will want to buy.  

Learning outcomes will include:

• What is your personal brand, your Unique Selling Point
• How to articulate that brand/USP
• How to use it to get where you want to be!

Denise says: "I’ve learned over the years that people have to know you to want to work with you. And you have to learn who you are professionally to get where you want to be. My brand? (I hope) Engaged, Knowledgeable, Funny and Helpful."

DENISE ERIKSEN'S BIO:

I bloody love “television” – creative content made for all platforms – and my career has allowed me to play in that particular sandpit for more years than I can remember! I binge watch everything from high-end (and low rent) drama and documentary to factual and reality shows.

I’ve worked as a journalist, producer and Executive Producer around the world - and in brilliant jobs as Head of Factual and Head of Current Affairs at the ABC and Head of Production and Development at SBS.

My career highlights? Making shows that audiences love, create careers or educate while entertaining. Oh – and bringing Australia’s own Eurovision broadcasts to SBS.
