The Future-Proof Studio - Strategies for Growth in 2025

April 3, 2025

So how do you future-proof your studio in the face of it all?

Join us for a high-impact roundtable where we unpack how top studios are adapting themselves to thrive in 2025 and beyond.

Our special guests are Ryan Summers, Mark Cernosia, Nico Puertollano, and Council member Eric Singer.

What we’ll explore together:

  • Podcasts, Publishing, and Products, Oh My! – It’s not just the work that wins clients anymore. What you create to attract the work is the new differentiator.
  • Specialization & Niche Expertise – Going deep beats going wide. How defining your niche opens doors to higher-value opportunities.
  • Brand-Direct is the Future – With traditional agency pipelines drying up, what does it really take to connect directly with brands and entertainment clients?
  • Slow Burn, Real Results – Building new muscles takes time. We’ll dig into what traction looks like in the early stages of new positioning... and sales.

This is your invitation to pull back the curtain and hear how your fellow FORUM members are evolving right now—not someday.Come sharpen your strategy, challenge your assumptions, and learn what’s working (and what’s not) from the front lines.
