Streaming is entering a new age of expansion across platforms and devices and through organizations and content creators, said Marc DeBevoise, CEO of Brightcove. Media companies, brands, and organizations of all types are looking for ways to create differentiated streaming experiences that engage viewers and enable them to own their digital future. We designed the content of Play Season 1 to deliver the right insights for any company, brand, or creator to learn about what's now and next in streaming.
As a filmmaker, I know how challenging it can be to bring a story to life, enroll others in your vision, and ensure your project gets made with integrity, said Heder. I'm honored to be joining Brightcove during PLAY Season 1, where I share my experiences throughout the production of CODA.
Before influencers were on the scene in the early 2000s, I created my own path and produced my own short video comedy content as a way to engage with audiences and grow my brand, said Eichner. Today, anyone with a smartphone can be a content creator, but to stand out, you need to produce compelling original content that drives engagement. I'm looking forward to sharing with current and aspiring content creators attending PLAY Season 1 how they can truly own their content and the channels they're delivered on to maximize audience engagement.
PLAY Season 1 will premiere beginning on November 8 at 10:00 AM EST on Brightcove PLAY TV, Brightcove's streaming service dedicated to the impact of video and digital media. After the season premiere, all episodes will be available to stream on demand.
