The industry was old-fashioned in some ways. These meetings were always “meat meets”. Of course everyone brought their Agents but the meeting and the decision were slow, human, face-to-face. And this meet started with bad news. The network wouldn’t be renewing the show. Her Agent had warned her but it was still a shock. The commissioning editor pulled up the figures. The show wasn’t hitting its targets. Trust was running at 3.10. He showed her feeds from users’ screens, biometrics for the last show. They simply couldn’t auction at that level. He liked the show but… Advertiser Agents, you understand?
