The event's newsletters showcasing the formats reached over 10.000 TV professionals and generated over 2.500 video plays. On social media, the formats presented by PITCH&PLAY FORMATCASE got over 6.000 impressions. The Top 5 most-screened shows included ITV Studios' Catchpoint, Red Arrow Studios International's Next Exit: Love, Vivendi Entertainment's The Secret Song, Global Agency's The Villa and Magnify Media's Fittest Family.

"The inaugural PITCH&PLAY FORMATCASE was able to attract the interest of both major international distributors and buyers and we are already seeing some fresh deals for the formats that took part in the FORMATCASE which we will continue to organize in the future. Furthermore, the pitchplay.tv platform remains open for content creators and distributors willing to present their shows to the international TV industry," says Georgi R. Chakarov, CEO of TVBIZZ Group.
