Liberation Entertainment Announce New
U.K. Distribution Deal With Sony DADC
London based Liberation Entertainment confirmed today they have signed a U.K. distribution deal with Sony DADC. Since the company’s formation in April 2006, Liberation has used Pinnacle Vision to distribute their growing number of titles; Managing Director of Liberation Entertainment, Spencer Pollard explains the reasons behind the switch.
“As our business has rapidly grown over the past 16 months and we have aggressively acquired new titles and have concentrated on full price releases we feel that Sony DADC is going to be a great long term home for our distribution business. A lot of other successful labels have switched to DADC this year and their set up is well equipped to help grow our business. I look forward to working with DADC’s team to ensure a smooth transition and a real ramp up with our Quarter 4 activities in the coming months and into the next year.”
Spencer added, “At the same time, it is sad that we leave Pinnacle Vision who has been instrumental in helping to get our business off the ground and their skilled and experienced sales and backroom team deserve great thanks from us for their dedication to our account. I would thoroughly recommend Pinnacle Vision to any independent business needing external sales and distribution under one roof, and as our door closes with them, I am sure plenty more will open.”
Darren Houghton, General Manager of Sony DADC, said “We are delighted that Liberation Entertainment has chosen Sony DADC to be their distribution partner in the U.K. The addition of Liberation to our growing portfolio of independent labels for video, audio and games continues to strengthen our mission to become the full supply chain provider of choice for the entertainment industry, both for physical and alternative digital delivery models. Whether delivered physically or electronically, our commitment is to excel in quality, reliability and innovation – and to do whatever it takes to help our customers deliver their content to market as quickly, cost-effectively, and secure as possible”.
