Introduction

Welcome to Entertainmgmt, a resource for those who manage creatives and entertainment-related projects. This blog is designed for creatives trying to manage business aspects of their own careers, as well as for professional managers who are handling others. We’ll discuss topics that are relevant to everyone in the entertainment industry; legal issues, finances, hiring and staffing, collaborating with others, conflict resolution, promotion, networking, and much more. We will also highlight issues that are important to women and minorities in the creative services/entertainment industry as well. The information here comes from real world experience, and will hopefully help you avoid any pitfalls while becoming successful in your careers. 

As a creative professional, managing your work is probably not an intuitive or easy process. There are tons of scammers waiting to take advantage of that, which only compounds the problem. In the upcoming months, we'll address topics to help you navigate through the seas of scam, the hills of hype, and the mountains of mumbo jumbo. We’ll interview creative professionals to get their tips and words of wisdom. We'll also provide a community forum to ask questions and get advice from others, as well as resources to help you network (and barter) with other creatives. Be sure to add this site to your RSS reader, and follow us on Twitter (@entertainmgmt) as well.
