RTS Boss Theresa Wise Talks Landing David Beckham & Ted Sarandos For Next Week’s Buzzy Convention, And How Industry Confab Could Finally Precede “New Normal” After Years Of “Volatility”


RTS CEO Theresa Wise has talked David Beckham, Ted Sarandos, Steven Knight & the "new normal" on the eve of the RTS London Convention 2024.

Since 2020, the industry has been beset by global shocks including the Covid-19 pandemic, Ukraine War, Hollywood strikes and recession, leading to an era of boom and bust that has shaken the sector to its core. She pointed out that the main organizing trio of UK content boss Anne Mensah, VP EMEA production Anna Mallett and comms chief Ruth Settle have decades of PSB experience between them. Nandy is delivering her first major set piece since taking on the Culture Secretary role and Wise is keen to hear whether there has been “a shift in tone” on the PSBs compared to the Tory government, which was at times combative towards the likes of the BBC and Channel 4.
