E19: Nick Demartino and Ludwina Dautovic Discuss Storytelling in the Age of the Fan

June 01, 2014

Episode 19 Switched On Featuring Nick Demartino


As the American Film Institute’s senior media strategist for more than 20 years, Nick Demartino built programs and products at the intersection of Hollywood and Silicon Valley. His work as a journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, educator, publisher, conference organizer, marketing executive and researcher delivers unique depth and texture to businesses seeking vision that transcends the conventional wisdom. In our conversation we discussed the idea that we no longer have audiences; we now have fans and if that is the case, how are you speaking to your fans? What stories are you engaging them with? How are you populating your communities of fans? It's quite an insightful conversation and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. You'll particularly love it if you are a fan of TV.
