We are Interactive Studio Management, an international agency specializing in business development, commercial strategy, and supporting video game studios. Since 1996, we have been helping creators, developers, and interactive entertainment players turn their ambitions into concrete opportunities by building strong bridges between studios, publishers, investors, and strategic partners.
Our role is to support studios at every key stage of their development: fundraising, negotiating publishing contracts, structuring deals, go-to-market strategy, international expansion, acquisition advisory, and managing relationships with major industry players. With experience built across multiple console generations, business models, and market shifts, we bring a vision that is strategic, pragmatic, and deeply rooted in the reality of video games.
ISM relies on an international team based in North America and Europe, composed of professionals who have worked within studios, publishers, and major companies in the sector. This dual expertise—on both the creative and business sides—allows us to understand developers' needs, partners' expectations, and the economic stakes behind each project. We know that good support is not just about opening doors: it is about preparing the right exchanges, defending a project's value, and building lasting relationships.
Over the years, we have supported many independent and renowned studios, participated in hundreds of publishing deals, and helped secure major funding for ambitious projects. Our approach is based on trust, integrity, precision in negotiations, and a constant drive to create favorable conditions for our clients' success.
At ISM, we believe that great games also come from good strategic decisions. Our mission is to enable studios to focus on what they do best—creating memorable experiences—while providing them with the expertise, network, and vision needed to reach their full potential in a demanding global market.
