We are incredibly excited to open the call for a brand new programme, Make Your Market, open to Producers and emergent PMDs (Producers of Marketing and Distribution) based in Scotland. Run in partnership with London based Distribution agency We Are The Tonic, Make Your Market is the first initiative in Scotland to focus on developing and implementing new models of film marketing, distribution and audience engagement.
There will be two strands to this unique 6 month training opportunity. Four Scottish-based producers with a project currently underway will be selected for the initiative and will subsequently be paired with a PMD who will develop the marketing campaign for their film. In addition they will receive individual mentoring from We Are The Tonic.
In a paid, full time ‘trainee’ role, two PMDs will work closely with the selected productions, to test and develop tools and strategies to be used at any stage of production and distribution, supported throughout by workshops and individual mentoring.
In the fast changing landscape of marketing and distribution the relatively new role of the PMD is being recognised as increasingly integral to the process of producing a film and connecting it with the right audiences. We are really proud to be launching a programme which specifically focuses on the importance of this role and the vital benefits it brings to a project alongside the work of the producer.
