Media Licensing

You do creative.
We do licensing.

When you work with us, you get access to an extensive network of stock footage and archival libraries — with the relationships, the rights knowledge, and the negotiating power to get you what you need, cleared and ready to go. No chasing. No surprises. Cape Town-based, with South African rates and worldwide broadcast rights.

"We have had the pleasure of working with Blue Room for over six years now. Their attention to detail has ensured that they cover all bases and provide their clients with peace of mind and top-quality content to meet each brief. Bringing campaigns to life is their artform."

Why work with us

Access

One relationship with us opens an extensive network of stock footage and archival libraries — from global players like Getty to niche specialists you'd never find searching alone. We know what's in each library, who to call, and how to get the right material for your brief — fully licensed, with worldwide broadcast rights.

Savings

Our long-standing relationships with the world's major stock libraries give us access to pricing that agencies can't get direct. We negotiate on batches, not individual clips — so the savings are real, and they go straight back into your creative budget.

Continuity

We keep your licensing records live, legal, and accessible — not buried in a project folder nobody can find. Same team on every job. If a rights issue comes up, we contact you before it reaches your client. You brief us once and we handle the rest.

How it works

01

Send us the brief

Tell us what you're looking for — mood, subject, era, format. The more context the better, but we're good at reading between the lines too.

02

We search

We go across our full library network to find the right options. You get curated selects, not a dumped folder of thousands of clips.

03

We clear and license

Once you've chosen, we handle the rights clearance, territory agreements, and usage licensing. Everything documented and watertight.

04

Delivered, done

High-res files delivered to your spec. Records kept on file. If anything ever needs revisiting, we're still here.
