Tuesday Aug 29
Description
The Tennessee Entertainment Commission (TEC) recently expanded its focus to cover interactive and digital content creation-related industries. The new campaign, “Create_Here” highlights Tennessee’s creative technology class and seeks to recruit new talent and companies beyond TEC’s ongoing emphasis on music, film and entertainment. Interactive Digital Media includes sectors such as Music Tech, Gaming/Gamification, Virtual/Augmented Reality, Ed Tech, Animation, Digital Content Production & Digital Distribution. The new Create_Here platform also includes a new online community for animators, software and app developers, designers, marketers, writers and other professionals in Tennessee’s emerging creative tech sector. The directory allows individuals and companies to create profiles to showcase their work, connect with other professionals in Tennessee and integrate profiles with existing social media networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Snapchat. Create_Here’s online resource directory is accessible at CreateTN.com. Video testimonials and stories can be found on YouTube at the TFEMC channel.
