Quotable

“Having the HBO brand—it’s very important for subscribers and viewers. It means something to people, but it’s also very meaningful to the people who work at HBO. It actually gives us all a North Star, something to shoot for, and I think that’s very helpful. I’m talking about production, business affairs, publicity… We all know that to be an HBO show, it has to be special in some way. It has to be unique, it has to be different, it has to be well-produced… I do think that is helpful, that when you go into this process of making TV shows, you’ve got something in mind for a bar that you wanted to hit.
– HBO/HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys talking with Epyllion Industries about how the brand and programming strategy go hand-in-hand
