NEED A REASON TO JOIN? THIS STORY MIGHT CONVINCE YOU…
“While negotiating a recent project, a question came up about broadcast usage for a video we were creating. Specifically, the client wanted to be educated on what was not included in that usage. Knowing that I needed to be specific, I turned to the AMA to help me define the usage correctly. With their help, I learned how to correctly define ‘Over the Top’ and ‘Connected TV’ usage. By sharing this knowledge with the client and having the AMA as a credible industry resource, I was able to negotiate a larger fee. I would not have been able to do this if it were not for the AMA.” --Heather Elder, Owner of Heather Elder Represents and Treasurer of the AMA
