Are you interested in a career in development or have an idea you want to pitch?
Watch the full panel discussion between Damian Kavanagh, Catherine Lynch and Kate Stannard as they share the qualities needed for a successful career in development and the key to grabbing the attention of commissioners.
“If you are defensive and precious about your idea, and you won’t let it evolve, whether that’s in your brainstorm or when you’re pitching to the commissioner, it’s just never going to go anywhere,” explained Catherine Lynch, creative director at Initial TV, which makes ITV gameshow Tenable.
Initial’s head of development Kate Stannard agreed: “What you end up seeing on telly is often quite different to the thing you first said in the room.”
