Why join APSE?
Our Commitment
We are committed to providing a plethora of services; standard contracts, templates, production advice, insurance consultation, recommended crew rates, training and members promotion. We also help our members access new business opportuinites by connecting them to UK and international markets.
Our Standard Contracts
In partnership with the Agency Association, IPA, Client Association and ISBA, we have created contractual documentation that serves as the legal framework on which our members and advertising agencies work together. APA/IPA Contracts within our Members Resources are only available for our APA members.
How it works?
If you are interested in joining the membership, please get in touch. An in-person or virtual meeting gives us the chance to learn about you and your business, whilst we present our services, in order for you to maximise and utilise the benefits of our membership. Membership costs are entirely dependent on the size of your company and your discipline.
Specialist Groups?
We have special groups and meetings for our diverse members; VFX, editing, animation, immersive, stills, music and sound design companies. These invaluable forums identify and resolve issues within these areas, along with developing promotional and learning opportunites to the wider industry..
Industry Insight
We keep members up to date with new issues and opportunities for their businesses through members meetings and update emails – whenever anything interesting happens – which is often..
Training
Since its inception in 2001, the APA Masterclass has trained over a thousand commercials producers. It is deemed as the industry standard that guarantees a successful career in commercials production.
International Events
Each year we organise multiple events in Cannes in partnership with the Lions festival, which are free and beneficial to APA members.
We collaborate with the producers associations in Europe (the CFP-E) and the USA (the AICP) to organise the World Producers Summit and introduce and showcase our members in multinational markets by leading regular international trade trips (Seoul, Shanghai, Tokyo, Silicon Valley and Mumbai). These events set up the foundation for relationships from which significant productions have emerged. Find out more on all of the above here.
Avoiding and Resolving Problems
We help members find satisfactory solutions to challenges. We discuss production issues with the agencies’ association, the IPA, and partner with them to resolve disputes informally. Conflicts are also settled using the mediation/arbitration process set out in contracts, saving members time and legal costs.
Website
This site is a highly valuable resource for members, providing updated information, draft agreements, green production guide, comprehensive advice on health & safety, visas, engaging children, and a host of production essentials. It is a portal to our members’ sites and showreels that is valued by the UK and international advertising industry.
