WE MARKET AUSTRALIA
Ausfilm is a marketing organisation. Our team promotes Australia’s screen production industry, diverse locations, world-class sound stages and post-production and visual effects facilities internationally to stimulate production in Australia, create business opportunities for Ausfilm members and the broader local industry.
WE MARKET YOUR BUSINESS
Through digital and print marketing campaigns and global business development initiatives and events, we market Australia’s Federal Screen Production Incentive Scheme which comprises the Location, PDV (post, digital and visual effects) and Producer Offsets as well as state and territory incentives and funding programs. In addition, we market your business and the creatives and talent within your team through our monthly digital and video campaigns, social media platforms and print campaigns in global screen markets.
ADVOCACY & POLICY
Ausfilm has a proven track record in helping to shape government policy and improve its screen production incentives scheme. Industry leadership and development is also a critical component for Ausfilm as the decision on where to shoot a film depends not only on economic incentives but on a skilled and capable local industry.
INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP
Ausfilm provides a platform for collaboration between Screen Australia, the state screen agencies and the private sector and represents the best of Australia’s screen industry internationally in order to increase production locally.
Ausfilm offers a unified industry voice to influence government policy and advocates for incentives and conditions that are globally competitive. Identifying and developing relationships with key industry leaders is Ausfilm’s core strength in marketing Australia as a leading film and television production destination.
GLOBAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Ausfilm regularly undertakes targeted marketing campaigns, international forums and networking events to raise awareness of Australia’s incentives, talent, locations and facilities.
To promote the Producer Offset incentive, Ausfilm is actively engaged in marketing co-productions and joint ventures internationally, particularly in the US and the UK, to encourage the development of international projects for production in Australia. Ausfilm is also focussed on the Asia Pacific markets including China and Korea.
