Designed for content developers and the creative community, the Apple Media Program (AMP) offers a breadth of resources, information, and promotional opportunities to help keep new media developers up-to-date on Apple's offerings for authoring and playback -- and to help both interactive media content and media tool developers network with future clients.
 +
 +
=Membership Benefits=
 +
Most AMP benefits and resources are delivered via the AMP Web site. The latest materials are delivered to AMP Members via quarterly CD-ROMs and the AMP Newsletter. AMP Members are also given access to a special Members Only area which, along with the CD-ROMs, provide members with the first access to the latest information, sometimes quite some time before the material is available in the public areas of the AMP site. In the case of larger demos and applications delivered via the CD-ROM, membership may provide the only access to these materials, since they are sometimes too large for delivery over the Web. In all cases, however, members get the first access to the latest additions to all the resources and benefits listed below.

 +
===Co-marketing Opportunities===
 +
Co-marketing opportunities for program members include a direct mail program, developer showcasing at trade shows, and the AMP Member Showcase -- an area on the AMP Web Site that provides information on member products and services as well as a link to their own Web site. One of our most popular co-marketing opportunities involves the placement of demos provided by AMP Members, and interactive media development tool manufacturers, on our quarterly CD ROM that gets mailed to thousand of developers and others in the media industry.
