Strategic collaborations Target long-term collaborations with public media and cultural institutions, exemplified by the CBC/Radio-Canada MOU, to offer joint development pipelines, cross-border content exchange, and coordinated release calendars that maximize audience reach and public-value impact.

Global distribution potential Capitalize on NFB's international awards and diverse catalog to pitch global streaming and educational distribution deals, with emphasis on multilingual, Indigenous-led, and socially relevant titles that appeal to global public broadcasters and digital platforms.

Sustainability and social impact Align sales pitches with the NFB’s leadership in gender equity and Truth and Reconciliation recommendations to attract brands and funders focused on corporate social responsibility, edutainment partnerships, and community-driven storytelling initiatives.
