How to sell your development slate, not just finished shows

Some of your most valuable conversations happen before a single frame is shot. ONE handles paper formats and pitches as well as finished series, so scripts, decks and sizzles get the same control and tracking as your screeners.

In this guide

  1. Treat ideas like titles
  2. Organise files the way you work
  3. Share each file with the right partner
  4. Know what got read

Before and after

The usual way, and the ONE way

Flip the switch to see what changes.

A format on paper

A deck in someone’s inbox

Easy to lose, impossible to track.

A home in the catalogue

Create the programme, or a pre-production programme type, and attach the deck.

A script for one partner

An email attachment

Forwarded who knows where.

An asset with permissions

Upload it to a Script category and grant it to the partners who should see it.

Regional teams pitching

Versions everywhere

Nobody is sure which deck is current.

One library

Assets live at programme, season or episode level, and regions organise who is who.

Did they read it?

No idea

Until they reply, if they do.

Check the report

Asset access reports show who downloaded what.

How it works

Four moves

01

Treat ideas like titles

Programme types let you separate development projects from finished shows, and buyers can filter by type. There is no separate product to learn.

Organise files the way you work

Upload assets at programme, season or episode level, into categories you name yourself, such as Script, Press Kit or Sizzle reel.

Share each file with the right partner

Asset permissions let a script go to one partner without appearing for anyone else, and buyers can download several files at once from My Assets.

Questions we get asked

Before you ask

Is development a separate product?

No. It uses the same catalogue and assets tools, so your team learns one system.

Can buyers download several files at once?

Yes. From My Assets they can select multiple files and download them together.

Is the assets library on every plan?

The full assets library is part of the full ONE platform. Book a demo and we will show you which setup fits.

See it working on your own catalogue

Book a demo and we will show you this with your own titles, or request a brochure to share with your team.
