Description

Join us as we reconnect with Genevieve McGillicuddy, VP, Enterprises & Strategic Partnerships at Turner Classic Movies (TCM), to discuss her journey and the evolution of TCM's community engagement. We delve into the early days of TCM's online presence, the growth of message boards, and the impact of social media in building a passionate fan base. Genevieve shares insights on how TCM's fans have shaped the brand, the significance of in-person events like film festivals and cruises, and how the network adapted during the pandemic. We also touch on a remarkable story where legendary directors like Martin Scorsese, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Steven Spielberg intervened to support the TCM team during layoffs.
