We all need a make-over from time to time, is your brand also going through a mid-life crisis?. Or is your development IP needing a tweak because it has been in development hell for years and your IP pitch reel is still in a commissioners drawer on VHS. Get Refreshed will go through how
producers take a step back
and have a re-think.
