With a month to go, TellyCast is delighted to unveil a new wave of speakers and sessions for its pioneering event How to Make Money in Digital, including a session by Spotify and a special talk on the digital reinvention of an iconic TV brand.
Now confirmed is a sponsored session from Spotify, How to Monetise Your Video on Spotify, in which Rowan Collinson, senior audience development and editorial manager – podcasts, will outline how creators and production companies can tap into the platform’s evolving video ecosystem and unlock new revenue streams.
Also revealed today is Inside Time Team’s Digital Reboot, led by Tim Taylor MBE, offering a look at how the iconic format is being reimagined for a digital-first audience and how legacy IP can be successfully transformed for new platforms.
Following a successful debut last year, the second edition of How to Make Money in Digital will return to 30 Euston Square in London on 20th April 2026. The event will once again bring together leading executives, strategists and practitioners to examine how production businesses, publishers, creators and digital first studios are building sustainable revenues beyond traditional media models.
The summit will focus on platform-native content strategies, monetisation, IP development, brand partnerships, monetising catalogue and existing IP, audience growth and new operating models for the digital-first era, with a particular emphasis on vertical video, microdrama and video podcasting.
Designed for independent producers, content industry executives and emerging studios, the one-day event will feature 13 case studies, practical sessions, networking breaks and panel discussions aimed at founders, managing directors, freelancers and senior development teams looking to future-proof their businesses and connect with the leaders shaping the next generation of entertainment.
