Music Trade Mission to US presents opportunity to Liverpool's creatives
Liverpool’s creative businesses and music businesses have been urged to attend the upcoming UKTI Music Trade mission to the USA.
Music and Creative industry professionals gathered at Parr Street Studios for a US Trade Mission showcase from UK Trade and Investment.
The event held on 6th September included presentations from three of the world’s leading music industry events, South By South West (SXSW) Midem and Sound City and from music industry bodies such as AIM (Association of Independent Music).
John Paul Waddington from Liverpool Sound City attended the event . He said:
"Instead of looking inwards, it's vital to look out, get yourselves out there and think global instead of local. And SXSW is where it's at globally."
Kevin McManus, Liverpool Vision’s Head of Creative and Digital helped organise the event. He said: "We are always looking to encourage our businesses to look to exploit opportunities in international markets. Some of our companies have had real success in winning contracts at SXSW and MIDEM in recent years, and an event like this is important in helping businesses to understand how to make the most of the opportunities these platforms offer.”
