Refer a location
At Location Collective, we are always searching for great sites with film location or production space potential. We’re proud to have been the first agency to introduce a commission-based referral scheme for film professionals.
Many years later, the founding principle of our referral scheme remains the same. We encourage referrals from those on the front line, who know best what makes a great location and production space. This helps us shape the best and most relevant portfolio to offer back to the wider film industry.
How to refer
- Tell us about a location
We’ll decide whether the location would be suitable for our current portfolio. We might come back to you with questions. Sometimes a site won’t be right for us and if that’s the case we’ll talk you through why.
- If we’re keen to move forward, we’ll talk you through your options as a referrer, which are:
Full referral: We’ll ask you to introduce us to the location’s decision maker over email, informing them about Location Collective and our service.
or
Spotter’s referral: Our Acquisitions team will pick things up from here, investigating who owns the site and how best to reach them. This is the best option if you’d prefer to just provide the tip and move on.
We’ll keep you updated on the process. It can take several months from the point of referral to reaching an agreement with a site owner and a listing appearing on our website.
- We’ll start securing hires and making you commission!
Frequently asked questions
-
Q.What are Location Collective’s referral terms?
A. A referral commission is paid as a percentage of the commission we make on each hire (not the overall hire fee).
Commission is paid on any new site brought to us and secured to our portfolio. If any subsequent sites with the same owner or decision maker are secured to our portfolio over the following 12 months (based on the date of signature of the first site), those subsequent sites will also be assigned to the referrer. This is our way of acknowledging that the referrer’s introduction played a role in Location Collective forging a relationship with the owner.
If you are introducing a portfolio of locations rather than a single site, please raise this when referring so we can ensure any buildings in the portfolio at that point are assigned to you. -
Q.How does a full referral work?
A. Full referral is the best option if you have all the location details and information available. We’ll ask you to introduce us to the owner over email, meaning we’ll need a bit more input from you to secure the site. This is how it works:
1
