Rights Stuff provides pragmatic international content acquisition, licensing, project management and operational services, as well as business and legal consulting for companies in both the traditional film/television world, and new digital media ventures. Our services and expertise include:
Business Models: International programming rights deals are affected not only by the delivery means, technologies or devices through which they are delivered to the consumer. They are further influenced by the choice of business models, including subscription, rental, ad-supported, or "sell-through" (i.e. download-to-own).
Channels and Platforms: In addition to the film, tv and new media content licensing services, Rights Stuff provides assistance with the strategic development of new digital channels, as well as with the negotiation of "channel carriage" (distribution) agreements. We can also provide strategic advice on platform content strategy overall (channel acquisition, tiering and channel packaging issues and retail pricing strategies). Rights Stuff has relationships and experience with all major European linear television channels.
Sports Rights: We also can provide assistance with the strategic acquisition and negotiation of key international sports rights, as over the last few years we have successfully acquired television and new media rights from most of the major sports bodies, leagues and agencies worldwide.
Crossing the Bridge: Rights Stuff is at the forefront of developments in entertainment content and the industry, including iits changing players and the various methods of distribution. Rights Stuff crosses the bridge between tech companies, telecom and other service operators, and the entertainment world. Drawing on our extensive contacts and long experience in complex program rights, acquisition and distribution affairs, we offer an integrated rights approach to convergence.
The Leg Work: We dig in and find the right content, figure out the "right" rights-holder partners, and then structure and negotiate the deals, for a full range of international and local content genres, ranging from large brands to eclectic niches.
Whether visible (leading negotiations), or working in the background assisting your in-house teams, Rights Stuff resolves strategic business and content issues. We tackle head-on the necessary detail and "dirty work" to ensure those bits of sound and visuals get out there onto your service and to the consumer.
Particular strengths include:
Matchmaking: We also can't resist matching the right people and projects together. Rights Stuff welcomes the challenges that face the changing business of entertainment.
