Who they are.
 
The Industry Trust is the UK film, TV and video industry’s consumer education body, promoting the value of copyright and creativity. Its consumer awareness programmes address the on-going challenge of film and TV copyright infringement by inspiring audiences to value great movie moments and choose to watch film, TV and video via legitimate sources. Industry funded, their work aims to engage three distinct audience groups: young people, 16-34-year-old men; and parents, providing extensive insight around audience attitudes and understanding of intellectual property.
Tangible results
According to Liz Bales, Chief Executive of the Industry Trust, the Moments Worth Paying For campaign has had more than two billion ad impressions for its messaging with its target audience over the past six years, with an estimated media value of £49.3 million.
“Campaign performance has improved year on year; in 2016 for every £1 spent, the campaign delivered an ROI of £55 and reached an audience of 3,000 – ending the year with just under £10m in media value,” she said.
Why it matters

Consumer awareness is an important component of anti-piracy.  Similar initiatives, including CTAM’s Stream Safely, and copyright awareness campaigns by Creative Content Australia and US-based CreativeFuture, are additional examples.
