International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Features FanTrust in Emmy Almanac Winner’s Edition

New York/Vancouver – February 23, 2010  –  Each year, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences publishes its Emmy Almanac Winners’ Edition, showcasing the Academy’s activities and serving as a “Who’s Who” of media and entertainment. As an authority on “Competing in the Digital Space,” FanTrust President Catherine Warren was among those featured in the newly published 2009-2010 edition.

“It takes tremendous ingenuity and business acumen to compete in the ever-shifting digital environment,” said Warren, whose management consultancy FanTrust provides media deal-making and strategic advice to entertainment companies on digital financing, revenues, productions and audiences. “But as competition heats up so do collaborations – so expect to see more innovative cross-platform deals and digital strange bedfellows in the year ahead.”

With a readership of 60,000 made up of key people in the international media marketplace, this glossy publication will also be circulated throughout the year at Emmy Galas and entertainment trade events.

In recent years, she has also served as an international judge for the Interactive Emmy® Awards. Presented annually in Cannes, France, these Awards recognize outstanding achievements in interactive television, broadband, mobile and new media.

Canada’s digital entertainment leadership is world-renown. With multiple International Interactive Emmy® Awards, the Canadian digital media sector continues to thrive in large part due to significant financing from the Bell Broadcast & New Media Fund, where Warren has served on the Board for ten years.
