Audiences now engage with media across multiple platforms, following the
fictions of films and books across social media and video games, exploring
brand universes and publishing enterprises across television, comics,
websites, apps, etc. This transmedia phenomenon is now a defining strategy
across the media industries for generating multiple revenue streams and for
building closer relationships between content, brands and audiences. But
when looking across the likes of online gaming, publishing, mobile media,
digital marketing, and film and television, which transmedia practices
really make up the UK's multiplatform landscape?

Transmedia UK: Sector by Sector tackles this question by beginning to map
the ways in which different UK media sectors are now responding to ideas,
concepts and pressures of transmediality. This academic-industry workshop
aims to identify the strategies and principles that now make up the
transmedia practices in and across online gaming, publishing, mobile media,
digital marketing, film and television and beyond, examining which practices
operate across these various sectors while exploring what it now means to
distinguish between storytelling, publishing, interactivity and marketing
in today's transmedia environment.

As well as the confirmed industry speakers, the workshop will also showcase
a range of academic perspectives on new developments in transmediality,
spanning film and television, digital and participatory storytelling,
heritage, pedagogy, publishing, advertising and marketing, mobile apps and
virtual environments.
