We serve business development, film/content, distribution, operations, and marketing teams of clients in out-of-home media and entertainment, including commercial and cultural  attractions, with an emphasis on d-cinema (and 3D) platforms.

Embracing the client’s vision and strategies, (and advising new strategies when required),  we're practical and thorough in planning, and we implement with a sense of urgency and ownership.

The Blaze Difference

* Blaze’s principal, Paul Fraser, has had hands-on, development, P&L, and revenue responsibilities for both film and theaters.  Many Blaze assignments have been in direct sales, extending the reach or accelerating the effort of the client’s team.

* Feasibility reports and business plans are thorough, strategic, and financially rigorous. Reports are actionable for clients’ senior management, and helpful to investors and/or donors.

* Tech-savvy and vendor-agnostic, Blaze has a solid rapport with integrators and vendors, but remains independent and does not accept compensation from them.

* International scope
 (50+ countries).

* Blaze was founded in 2006, at the dawn of the d-cinema era.
