UK Indie Studios Break Your Piggy Banks: Big Stage for a Small Sticker Price
Key Points
– Brands & Retail Conference, the sibling event of Get Animated, has tossed in an intriguing bargain that may just pay some dividends.
– This bargain allows four small UK indie studios to showcase their new IPs for licensing and merchandising (L&M) opportunities at their Winter 24 conference.
– These small studios will share the stage with industry giants Hasbro, Mattel, and BBC Studios, with big-bulge wallets watching.
– And here’s the shocker: indie studios only have to cough up a measly £500 for a ten-minute pitch. Talk about a sales promotion!
Hot Take
If stand-up comedy and a lion’s den had a baby, it might look something like this Winter 24 conference. Yes, Brands & Retail are offering indie studios a golden ticket to the chocolate factory, where they can rub shoulders with the animated Wonkas of the industry. For just £500, they’re selling dreams and possibly snazzy merchandise contracts. But will this apparent bargain be more bane than boon for the indie studios? We’ll have to wait until snow falls. Regardless, make sure to bring your top game, indie folks. As in every big jungle, only the lion-hearted survive. And remember, if the BBC doesn’t bite, Hasbro might!
