New Collaborative Partners
|
With viewers requesting Bright Thoughts shows to be screened again and also to purchase on DVD for example, the 'take-away' here is the potential for new partnerships with other companies.
The Bright Thoughts ethos of creative collaboration remains the same. Neil Anthony, Creative Director is currently focusing on the placement of original content. The present aim is for all shows and formats to be findable by our viewing audiences by key-word sear and therefore available via view-on-demand and also the download-to-own (audio) service providers. Discover more on our commercial website Bright Thoughts Entertainment. |

Their collaboration did not end however, and the friendship continued with fresh ideas and new concepts for other TV network companies. Find out more about the original collaboration.
