Over the past twelve months The Knowledge has seen quite the change. On top of our regular weekly bulletin we have found new ways to keep you informed of what is happening in the industry, and the figures showed us that we are going in the right direction.

We launched several new features in 2013, such as a guide section and a blog. Plus we designed a brand new weekly bulletin for subscribers of our Production Intelligence service, which provides up to date information on thousands of films and TV shows at various stages of production.

And 2013 was also the year in which we relaunched our news page. This page and the blog enjoyed no fewer than 107,000 page views. Our guides – bringing hands-on skills to film, television and advertising professionals – received over 35,000 views.

Here are a few of the articles that you (users of this website) viewed most:
