Many creators do not understand their business: who they work for? What do their contracts mean? Many creators’ organizations have on-going education programs for their members. The Federation is developing educational programs specifically designed to advance the underlying goals of a strategic campaign, with an emphasis on hands-on training seminars.

A crucial part of such education will incorporate the strategic power analysis. By understanding the strategic alliances between media companies, the relationships between the regulatory and political process (in a nutshell, how deals get made) and the long-term metamorphosis of the industry, creators will come to learn that, while their individual creativity is to be honored, their economic futures lie in seeing themselves as a collective force.

Goal: formulate education seminars for creators, which teach them the contours of the economic marketplace and instruct them about the value of creators’ organizations.
