We performed the valuation of content licensing deals in support of the negotiation processes with third party media & entertainment corporations, and we formulated new metrics to measure the performance of content across streaming, cable, and theatrical. You will work within our team to support content distribution decisions, conduct sophisticated analyses, and craft strategic frameworks alongside our full-time analysts and managers.
