Creative industries cannot exist without professional creators. Producers and Composers of Applied Music stand together as PCAM to protect the conditions in which they work and to uphold the standards and value of professional creativity. The Society provides its members and their clients with industry-approved guidelines and music commissioning models and is an influential lobbyist for composers’’ rights.PCAM was formed in 1982 as an industry forum for practitioners of advertising music and soon established its reputation as a respected and influential group campaigning for composers rights in all forms of applied music. More than 30 years on, it boasts a membership that comprises the most influential and prolific composers in advertising and media with over a hundred members representing several hundred writers.PCAM's strong ties with the IPA (Institute of Practitioners of Advertising) have generated best-practice music commissioning guidelines and joint agreements that are widely accepted by UK advertising agencies and an increasing number of agencies abroad. The Society's relationships with the MU (Musicians Union) and BASCA (The British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors), and its membership of the CRA (Creators Rights Alliance) and ECSA (the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance), place it squarely at the heart of creators rights campaigning, both at home and on the European stage.The PCAM Committee meets five times a year to look at the challenges and developments that affect its members and to plan targeted industry-wide campaigns. Members are always welcome to attend these meetings with prior notice, so please take advantage of the opportunity and come along. If you do wish to attend, contact PCAM Administrator Bob Fromer on: admin@pcam.co.uk

Creative Mentor Network was set up in 2014 by Teach First alumni, Isabel Farchy. Working with young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds, she saw the barriers many faced to pursuing a fulfilling career in the creative industries – and the talent that the creative industries were missing out on. Great work has already been done to increase BAME diversity, but Creative Mentor Network was designed to go beyond this – to help tackle the barriers to entering the creative industries for all young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
