New Media Knowledge

NMK is publicly-funded, but does not position itself in any of the traditional public-sector institutions or hierarchical structures. Rather, NMK operates across economic boundaries, bringing together knowledge and expertise from higher education, professional bodies and the creative industries, in order to drive forward the UK's new media industry.

Making use of these extensive assets and contacts, NMK can offer businesses and individuals a rich programme of events, courses, publications and networking activities, all aimed to boost your profitability and facilitate your development in the new media industry. From the freelancer just starting out to the director of a large production team, we can help you to realise your business and creative potential.

In addition, we provide a range of research and consultancy services for public and private sector clients, offering analysis and market intelligence about the UK's interactive media industries.

If you would like to know more about how NMK can help your organisation, please contact Colin Kirkpatrick (email: colin.kirkpatrickATnmk.co.uk).
