Associate Creators who place business with TVNF keep 80% of their income and gain 20% margin on all TVNF staff and services. Vastly increasing their income without incurring any risk or overheads.
Best of all the 80/20 scheme operates as an ongoing benefit, so as long as you are a member you gain a percentage of all future projects on any account you manage.
Commercial Support
TVNF Academy and Associate Members benefit from a range of support services, centralised marketing, sales automation, administation, project, offices, studio, insurance, legal, accounting and financial support.
This means you can spend more time focussed on doing what you LOVE rather than spending time on admin tasks.
Here to solve REAL career & commercial challenges
Attaining a Degree or any higher qualification in media just isn’t enough these days . Whilst London is rich with ‘Marketing Agencies’ and ‘Production Companies’ the majority of the talented creatives who actually produce the work are left to struggle in the ‘GIG ECONOMY’, faced with competing with ‘OFF-SHORE’ service providers and a growing number of cheap semi-automated Apps.
It can take many years to get ‘established’
Once you leave higher education getting regular work for most is a struggle,it takes years to get established. You’ll need to master sales and marketing, negotiating contracts, getting finance for projects and equipment. Then convince clients you have the team and experience to win big contracts.
That’s a tall order for young creatives and why so many talented people end up doing jobs they don’t want to do or exit the industry.
TVNF Academy will help you overcome every one of these challenges.
