2023 feedback:
“Here at Rollem, we have made various deals as a direct result of GrowthLab meetings - including the lucrative distribution of two back catalogue shows and securing a pre-sale deal resulting in development funding from N.America.”
“We have gone on to do a global distribution deal for a new factual series with a company we met at Growthlab - we will definitely be back this year.”
