Online music marketplace Music Gateway has teamed up with the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) to form a partnership focusing on helping students and young talent with their careers in the fast paced music world. This will be the first education sector to utilise Music Gateway’s project management and online collaboration tool the Private Network and will significantly improve the way students create collaborate and communicate between course disciplines as well as provide them with opportunities to get their foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the industry. Martin Kent Head of Creative Industry Development at ACM said of the partnership “Being part of ACM and a successful player in the global music scene simultaneously lets me see the endless stream of innovative talent emerging from the college as well as the importance of the Music Gateway platform as a world player in their development of opportunities. I look forward to working together to help build the careers of the next generation of exciting musicians!†Director of Marketing Communications and Technology Oliver Sussat expresses the importance of working alongside an established platform “Our world class teaching faculty brings the rarest of opportunities from the music and creative industries back into classrooms and now thanks to the Private Network we’re better able to share them with our student network and complement those opportunities with hundreds of others from the outside world.†This shared ethos of giving young talent direction and a launch pad into the creative working world as well as the ability to work globally with high profile professionals right from the start is what gives this pairing the potential to extend further than the either college or the music platform alone and impacts the industry as the next round of talented professionals start making their mark.
