Our copyright and Intellectual Property team is grounded in 20+ years of experience. With Six Degrees, you can be absolutely confident that the Properties we’ve secured are totally cleared and licensed according to your campaign requirements.

Fees, Licensing & Negotiations

The Six Degrees business model is built on the simple belief that a client should only pay for our time, expertise and knowledge. Unlike some of our competitors who charge varying percentage markups on licensing, Six Degrees does not. Giving you complete transparency. Our savvy negotiators enable us to secure the BEST licensing fee, not what will give us a commission.

Budgeting

Give us a concept, description, storyboard, layout, script, or an idea on a cocktail napkin and we’ll spec it out. What it’s going to cost... what it's really going to cost…what your budget will allow. Six Degrees will present you with a budget estimate for our time, expertise and knowledge. Included will be ballpark estimates for Property fees as well as risk assessment for any underlying rights that may appear in your campaign.
