NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) — Creative Intell, a company developing a suite of business and educational tools providing essential skills for independent entrepreneurs in the creator economy, announced the launch of its first product, Creative Intell Academy.
At launch, the CI Academy features 18 individual courses, including 50 animated videos covering a variety of core industry topics, ranging from music publishing, recording contracts, and licensing. The Academy also includes legal courses, which cover the details of key industry agreements such as producer agreements, management agreements, beat licenses, releases and waivers, and song splits for subscribers.
“We are teaching the real contracts of the industry and making them accessible for beginners and useful for the advanced,” says co-founder Steven Ship, former CEO of King Biscuit Entertainment Group and artist manager. “These are not motivational speeches or courses from another self-appointed guru talking around trending industry topics.”
“We believe that everyone deserves access to the education they need to protect themselves and thrive in the music industry,” added David Fritz, co-founder of Creative Intell, and a partner in Boyarski Fritz LLP, a top entertainment, media and intellectual property-focused law firm. “Books literally cannot keep up with the pace of change in today’s business. But Creative Intell can and does.”
