1st How-Do/Vision+Media Northwest England’s Creative Industries AGM
Regional overview and competitive position
◦ London and South East primarily dominate the music market in relation to overseas investment
◦ Worldwide decline in record business
◦ The Northwest region has successful track record for artist development
◦ Regional strengths include SJM (promoters), AdLib/Wigwam (PA & tech suppliers), Sound City/In The City (International conference and festival) Creamfields (club brand & festival), All Around The World (label, TV channel & club brand), Kendal Calling (festival), Sentric Music (online publishing)
◦ UNESCO World City of Music bid
DCMS report 2009
The funding perspective
◦ Viewpoint from traditional funding sector is that the music environment is “too high risk”
◦ 39% of music businesses refused finance at development were given this reason
◦ This compares to just 18% of small businesses generally
◦ Perceived lack of access to finance for those looking to enter the marketplace
◦ Difficult for the new entrepreneurs to flourish
The Sound City perspective◦ Liverpool Sound City at SXSW
Rationale Formula Successes
◦ Liverpool Sound City (UK) Vision Strategic relationships (Musexpo, SXSW, CMW, Midem) The Conference (Meet The Buyer, The Trial, Create!) The Live Festival The regional agenda (artists and businesses)
◦ Dubai Sound City Brand extension First ever promoters to engage in this level of activity in UAE Issues for the future Shanghai and beyond
◦ Marketing Core to everything we do Regional, national and international across all areas of activity Managing perceptions and building profile of the region as a place to do business
Immediate call to action
To promote and support the development of key regional brands that nurture and develop real business growth for the region
To support regional businesses in raising national and international profile
Identify high growth potential businesses and target for specific business support and investment opportunities
Think about the Future!◦ Addressing the key challenges to growth in this sector? Where
are the greatest opportunities?
◦ What policies should we be collectively developing to address and support the regional businesses? What roles are open for public sector to help in these areas?
◦ How can we offer better opportunities for businesses that wish to engage cross platform with our sector?
◦ How can we best support those at the grassroots level? We need to create better entry avenues for those people aspiring to work within our industry and develop a career in the music business?
◦ What are the skills shortages that exist in the music sector?
What sort of workforce development or training is needed?
◦ What can media industry partners – for instance, both commercial and BBC – do to help promote new, diverse, local musical talent across all genres?
Finally
◦ The music business is going through unprecedented change.
◦ There is a real opportunity for the public sector to develop effective intervention to ensure the growth and future development of the excellent skills base and raw talent that exists in our region.
◦ This can only happen through incisive and innovative policy and action.
