Force Media are a management company representing several audiovisual and media organisations in Russia which range from online portals for audiovisual communities to educational and creative collectives. FMS Force Media pride themselves on their ambition to: "Promote creativity. From online portals that join communities virtually, to hardware products that run the largest stages internationally, Force Media Swiss's unique blend of management and strategy generates a demand for new media."
Green Hippo's workshops took place from 3-6 August and proved to be a great success, generating some genuine interest with the participants who ranged from professional freelancers to representatives of Russia's leading broadcast, media, event and stage companies. Providing training to two groups of students over the duration, the course covered a wide range of subjects from the Basic and Advanced HippoSchool curriculum.
Harris gave an overview of the technology and provided practical guidance on the Hippotizer range, preparing FMS to provide a distribution strategy and all technical support for clients in Russia from now on. Being heavily involved in av and new media education, FMS will also be pushing HippoSchool training within their territory.
FMS Force Media have also started to implement their demonstration and stocking units. "We are very excited to be working with Force Media as they provide both creative, technical and training support within the Russian market. Russia has great potential as a market and going forward we are confident that in conjunction with such a committed partner we can have great success in this region."
