Austrian Skydiver & Red Bull Media House CCO to Speak at MIPTV

PARIS: Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian daredevil who made history when he jumped from 24 miles above the Earth’s surface, is set to give a Media Mastermind keynote alongside Alexander Koppel, Red Bull Media House’s CCO, at this year’s MIPTV.

Baumgartner’s historic sky-dive from space took place on October 14, 2012. After ascending into the stratosphere in a helium balloon, he free-fell back down to Earth, breaking the sound barrier along the way. This jump, which was was the most-watched live stream ever, was documented and distributed on multiple platforms by Red Bull Media House. Baumgartner and Koppell will discuss the global media event during a MIPTV keynote titled "The Red Bull Stratos Experience," which will take place on Tuesday, April 9. That same day MIPTV will also host a Brands & Content Masterclass and a Brand of the Year Award presentation.
