CREATIVE CONTENT CONCERNS ........................................ 4 2. LEGAL CONCERNS .............................................................10 CONCLUSIONS .......................................................................... 13 ABOUT THE STUDY PARTNERS ..................................................14 2 | Managing In-House Agency Creative Content and Legal Concerns BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY The 2018 ANA report, “The Continued Rise of the In-House Agency,” found that in-house agency penetration is rising and workloads are increasing. • 78 percent of ANA members have an in-house agency in 2018, versus 58 percent in 2013 and 42 percent in 2008. • For 90 percent of respondents, the workload of their in-house agency has increased in the past year, including 65 percent for whom the workload has increased “a lot.” As advertisers continue to expand bringing advertising services in-house, it is important for them to understand and deploy best-in-class practices to manage in-house agency creative content and legal concerns. The ANA partnered with the Boston Consulting Group and Reed Smith on this initiative. The findings are informed by qualitative interviews with ANA members and industry experts (conducted in first quarter 2019) and a quantitative survey of ANA members (fielded in March 2019). There were 111 survey respondents, and their demographics consist of companies with in-house agencies of various sizes and budgets: • Staff Size: 40 percent of survey respondents have staffs of 25 people or less, 36 percent between 26 and 100 people, and 24 percent greater than 100 people. • In-House Agency Budget: 50 percent of survey respondents work at organizations which had an 2018 annual U.S.

  • Albion Arts Corridor, Cultural Economic Development Strategy
    Albion Arts Corridor Cultural Economic Development Strategy Prepared for the Town of Wakefield Prepared by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council June 2017 Acknowledgements The Albion Arts Corridor Economic Development Strategy was made possible through a District Local Technical Assistance grant, a Planning for MetroFuture Technical Assistance grant, and arts and cultural planning resources from the Barr Foundation. MAPC Staff worked with the Town Administrator, Town Planner, and the Albion Cultural Exchange Committee to provide professional planning and technical assistance. This project was made possible through the enthusiastic participation of a number of individuals in Wakefield who were either interviewed, participated in a focus group, filled out the online survey, or gave us feedback and insight through their participation at the October First Thursday, November Community Forum, or December Holiday Stroll. A special thanks to the Albion Cultural Exchange Committee, whose members served as an Advisory Committee to this project. In addition to providing feedback and insight throughout the project process, the committee also helped to facilitate a number of outreach activities, provided invaluable local knowledge and insight, and were critical to making this project a success.

  • The Creative Sector in Georgia: Situation, Potential and Policy Issues
    German Economic Team Georgia in cooperation with ISET Policy Institute Policy Paper Series [PP/02/2017] The creative sector in Georgia: Situation, potential and policy issues David Saha, André Störr Berlin/Tbilisi, June 2017 About the German Economic Team Georgia The German Economic Team Georgia (GET Georgia) advises the Georgian government and other Georgian state authorities such as the National Bank on a wide range of economic policy issues. Our analytical work is presented and discussed during regular meetings with high-level decision makers. GET Georgia is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. Our publications are publicly available at our website (www.get-georgia.de). German Economic Team Georgia c/o Berlin Economics Schillerstraße 59 D-10627 Berlin Tel: +49 30 / 20 61 34 64 0 Fax: +49 30 / 20 61 34 64 9 E-Mail: [email protected] www.get-georgia.de © 2017 German Economic Team Georgia All rights reserved. ii The creative sector in Georgia: Situation, potential and policy issues Executive Summary Georgia has a rich cultural tradition as well as an affinity for unique designs. Can this creativity be an economic asset? This can in principle be assessed by using the standard “creative industries” approach, which measures several industries in the creative sector. Due to data limitations, we develop and use a slightly simplified method based on the international approach for Georgia. At present, the measurable creative industries – 7 out of 11 industries – together make up 1.5% of gross value added (GVA) of the Georgian economy and 1.1% of employment.

  • Part 3 Seven Big Winner Sectors – Creative Industries
    Joint Foreign Chambers Advocacy Paper ARANGKADA PHILIPPINES 2010: A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE Creative Industries Sector Background and Potential The Creative Economy is defined as industries which have their origin in individual creativity, skill, and talent and which have potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property. In the Philippines creative industries include a wide array of subsectors including advertising, animation, architecture, broadcast arts, crafts, culinary arts, cultural/heritage activities, design, film, literature, music, new media, performing arts, publishing, and visual arts (see Table 25). Filipinos enjoy a well-deserved international reputation for creativity. Filipino musicians and singers have long been global troubadours and in recent years are entertaining luxury cruise passengers and appearing on stage in West End and Broadway musicals. Filipino designers and crafts persons have helped the country to be known as the “Milan of Asia” in designer circles. However, the once vibrant Philippine film industry has lost market share to Hollywood imports, while its products have failed to gain the international following enjoyed by East and South Asian cinematographers. With such a rich and varied base of creative talent, the Philippines should develop the full potential of its creative industries, enhancing its competitive advantage and improving its reputation and becoming better recognized. Unfortunately, there is a lack of understanding and appreciation of these creative industries as a whole. This is partly because the creative cluster cuts across multiple economic sectors and does not yet constitute a cohesive or distinct sector in the traditional sense of an industry cluster. In order to nurture the creative industries, it is vital to recognize and improve its entire landscape.

  • Creative Capital Gains an Action Plan for Toronto
    Creative Capital Gains An Action Plan for Toronto Report prepared for City of Toronto Economic Development Committee and Toronto City Council | May 2011 MESSAGE FROM COUNCILLOR THOMPSON As Chair of the City of Toronto’s Economic Development Committee, I invited Robert Foster, Karen Kain and Jim Prentice to assemble and co-chair an advisory council tasked with updating the City’s Culture Plan. I asked the members of the Creative Capital Advisory Council to work with City staff, and to consult Toronto’s arts and business communities to determine the best way forward as we confront our present and future economic challenges. Councillor Michael Thompson Toronto is an undisputed Canadian creative capital, home to more artists and cultural workers than anywhere else in Canada. These workers drive growth, create wealth, and make Toronto a desirable place to live and invest. The City’s investments in cultural enterprises leverage additional capital from the private sector and other levels of government. Culture is an economic catalyst we can and must maximize for the benefit of all our communities. I am pleased to table this report on behalf of Toronto’s Creative Capital Advisory Council. We believe that the recommendations and action plan it contains can help strengthen Toronto’s economy and enhance our competitive advantage on the world stage.

Global Interest on Creative Industry In the world of interdependence of the 21st century, we face complex challenges, polarization, and inequality within and between countries. This situation requires strategy development to uncover the creative potential in order to meet the challenges— cultural, economic, social, and technological aspect—that we are facing nowadays. The concept of creative and cultural economy grows and thrives as a liaison among the culture, economy, and technology. The global development currently dominated by images, sounds, symbols, and ideas that create new jobs, prosperity, and cultures. Nobody disagrees that an innovative and creative idea is constantly changing as people always create and exchange goods, services, and cultures.
