With company sustainability a vital issue for independent media businesses everywhere, Olsberg•SPI has been engaged by the Canadian Media Production Association (CMPA) to assess the landscape for such companies in Canada.

Jonathan Olsberg was a keynote speaker at the 2010 SPAA annual conference, where the key findings contained in SPI's forthcoming report on building sustainable film businesses were discussed. The session addressed strategies for creating successful, international film businesses in a rapidly changing digital world.

In early 2010, SPI was commissioned by UK Film Council to produce a report that would assist the UK Film Council Board in its deliberations on a possible new paradigm for building UK-based film companies of scale (where film production is a major element of the business model).

Olsberg|SPI, on behalf of a major film agency, recently conducted an extensive review of how far the international public policy environment helps build industry sustainability through the emergence of film companies of scale.
