Digital Media Artists are the main benefactors of our consulting business.  This includes everything from illustrators, 3D artists, compositors, colorists, effects animators, matchmovers, CG lighting supervisors, and literally 1000s of other jobs where digital media arts skillsets are required.  Whether a brand new candidate or a seasoned veteran looking to make a lateral move into a new market sector, Imagination Exchange can provide the proper guidance to get anyone where they need to go in the most clear, time-efficient, and cost-effective way possible.

Educators include anyone who teaches in regards to Digital Media Arts.  This includes everyone from K-12, High Schools, Colleges, Specialty Colleges, to Authorized Training Centers and Online Training Providers.  We provide them with Career Kits for both students and teachers, and in some cases curriculum.  In return they provide clearer, more concise, and more relevant training.  High tides make all ships rise.

Industry Leaders are the companies and individuals that are at the forefront of their industry.  These include visual effects houses, animation companies, game developers, architectural pre-visualization firms, post-production facilities, etc.  Their needs are constantly changing and growing in terms of workforce, and our partnerships with them allow us to stay at the cusp of where each industry is headed.  They benefit from the partnership as well, since we are helping to build a solid pool of professionals that not only have a better foundation, but also know how to learn and can adapt quickly to the fast-paced and ever-growing landscape.

Technology Providers are companies that create the hardware and software tools that artists use in their daily work to achieve the artistic wizardry we see at the movies, on our TV, Mobile devices and so on.  They often work closely with Industry Leaders to fill new production needs and find ways to speed up an artist’s workflow.  They also often create training materials, because a happy customer is one who knows how to use their product. Of course, Imagination Exchange is software agnostic, and strive to partner with ALL companies that provide the tools.  Our goal is to recommend the best tools for the needs of our members, based on the industries that most interest them.  We greatly value our partnerships with these companies, and they value us, so oftentimes we can offer our members a great discount through group buys and special promotions through our growing partnerships.
