Music Marketing
Ernest Sternberg says that the most important commodities in Western economies are icons – images and the associations they carry. This has never been more apparent than here and now in the music industry, where the icons have become the only things that matter – talent and musical ability, even the ability to carry a tune – have all fallen by the wayside.
Owner of MMMEDIA - a film, television and interactive agency, Malcolm is the creator and producer of the ten part ABCTV ‘One Small Room’ series, and his upcoming 3 x 1hr international documentary ‘Under’ and Hi-Definition feature film ‘Trolley Boy’ have both secured U.S distribution. He is also producing the ‘Frocks Off’ series of 30 x 30 second interstitials with SBS.
Malcolm has discussed film and media on radio, TV and at conferences and is also a lecturer with the Qld School of Film and Television and soon to be teaching at AFTRS. He is a writer with over 30 articles published nationally and internationally on film and media subjects as well as his postgraduate research topic of Online Film Security, and is currently writing a book for emerging producers.
He also likes the noddy dogs that sit on car dashboards.
