Digital Distribution in Games and Music&nbsp;| Cultural Enterprise Office

In October 2014, CEO and the Starter for 6 Network brought together creators, publishers and distributors of games and music.

Discussion at the event, Unlimited Shelf Space: Digital Distribution in Games and Music, covered the similarities and differences of the two sectors' distribution methods and strategies. It also explored ways of monetising creative content via copyright, licensing, streaming and synching.

Amanda Millen, Director of ScreenHI and XpoNorth Festival (far right) chaired chat from the audience and our experienced industry panelists (from right to left):

Andrew Mulholland, Co-Director, Hunted Cow Studios
David Thomson, Founder, Ludometrics
Gary Clark, musician, songwriter and producer

Will Wright, Director, Hidden Armada

We have created some useful distribution resources from the event:

Distributing Games Insight featuring filmed insights into Andrew's and Will's games studios

David Thomson's Top 5 Networks for Games & Apps Developers and Top 5 Resources for Games & Apps Developers

Two FAQs focusing on distribution: Where can I distribute my game or app? and How do I distribute my music online?

We summarised discussion at the event and gathered further digital distribution resources in our Unlimited Shelf Space: Digital Distribution in Games and Music Storify.
