49th Waikato Management School Case Competition
B Trimester 2021 - Company: Shift72
Company Name
Case Synopsis
David White, Shift72’s founder and CEO, saw a future filled with opportunity. Over the past 11 years Shift72 had emerged as the global leader in video on demand platforms to film festivals and cinemas. Prior to Covid that still meant a struggle to convince festival organisers and cinema owners to complement their physical offering with a digital one. With the advent of Covid the world changed overnight and digital often replaced physical. The change was seismic for Shift72 and saw their relationships with iconic festivals like Cannes, Sundance and South by Southwest expand greatly. David knew the future was hybrid, but the question was how best to take advantage potentially across the entire event space.
