A hub and support solution for independent production companies. Currently spanning across four key markets in Europe.
Indies need support and connectivity more than ever in today's challenging market. Due to consolidation, tough financial circumstances, dropping ad revenues and commissioning slowdowns, companies are forced to think differently and look for creative solutions to survive and thrive. The big groups have a creative network, resources and impact force that are more difficult for fully independent companies to access, unless acquired.
Our answer for ambitious indies is to join forces with other like-minded companies. Build strong international alliances, as well as tapping into other unified group services, whilst maintaining their independence.
Thirtyfour Media is a new unique market player that provides premium independent production labels from different markets an international home where they find support and collaboration. Partner prodcos get an exclusive seat at the international table and benefit from all advantages a group setup has to offer, whilst retaining their freedom.
As an extension of the local teams we operate to provide support and counsel on format acquisitions, creative partnerships and IP travel. Further offerings include a shared catalogue and access on a first-look basis, united services like IP exchanges, centralised acquisitions, pre-MIP events, in-conference relationship building, and an environment where member organisations unite and share in knowledge and opportunity. We are a go-to for indies needing to bolster their international reach, and save them time and money.
Together we can do more, come join us!
