Creative Industry : Inner Thoughts

As stated on the title, collectively, I would share thoughts based on my direct experience in the creative industry locally or internationally. It could be related to film, drama, animations, television, broadcasting, channel and new media. Not another gossip blog, unfortunately.  

Primarily, I would share the perspectives from the other side of the fence i.e. investment and commercialization. You would be expecting some discussions on corporate strategy, branding strategy and investment strategy in the creative industry.  

I would try to refrain myself using figures, statistics etc as much as I can. I pledge to have a little focus on the specific talents or players in the industry. I tend to agree with the notion of "Don't blame the player, blame the game". 

I believe not too many people familiar or aware of on how to treat creative as a part of their investment portfolio. In fact, there are not too many investors or private equity firms that really invest in media or creative industry commercially. 

Normally, government assistance through industrial grants and loans would be the best bet. Thus, from time to time, I would share other alternative avenues available in the industry. 

In general, I would focus on the local scenario of the industry which is more domestically concentrated. Malaysia and Indonesia perhaps would be the best case study countries for the time being.  

I hope this blog, at least, would stir some great ideas for the industry, practitioners and followers, wherever you are. I am not a total expert but my experience and knowledge are somehow relevant and sensible, I think. 

So stay tuned!
