The UK Global Screen Fund is a one year pilot fund designed to boost international development, production and distribution opportunities for the UK’s independent screen sector. The new £7 million fund targets support across the screen sector including film, TV, animation, documentary and interactive narrative games content. Financed by DCMS and administered by the BFI, it is focused on accelerating export growth, boosting revenues to independent UK screen companies, deepening international relationships and increasing reach to new global audiences.Aimed at boosting the international competitiveness of UK screen content whilst growing the revenue and sustainability of domestic independent businesses, the fund is designed to help develop and produce projects with international appeal, expand the worldwide distribution of UK content and encourage collaboration with international partners.A key pillar of the UK Global Screen Fund is an international promotional campaign for UK screen content. Informed by newly commissioned audience perception research focusing on key international territories, the campaign will engage global audiences and reflect the extraordinary quality and diversity of screen content coming from the UK.

Following the delivery of creative assets, the 12-month campaign will focus on the roll out of the new brand strategy through media based activity, working alongside events-based activity (separate Events Campaign tender).The purpose of this contract is to implement the new brand strategy for promoting UK screen content internationally.
