“Touch Studios’ growth is reflective of the promising future of local Digital Media and Software Development industries”
Posted on February 25, 2011
Sunday, September 19th, 2010, Times-Picuyune writer Richard Thompson featured Touch Studios in his article entitled, “Tax Credits are Helping to Nurture the Digital Media Industry in New Orleans.” The incentive program, which began in 2005, provides a credit of 25 percent of certain production expenditures for digital interactive productions in Louisiana and offers an additional 10 percent tax credit for payroll expenses for Louisiana residents. There’s no annual cap on the credit, and it can be sold.
Thompson sat down with Touch Studios Co-founders Neel Sus and Jameson Quave to learn how the tax credits have helped them to grow their business. Neel observed that it has allowed the company to take more risks, “It becomes a little less painful, because it’s like, for every dollar I invest in this in labor, I’m going to get an extra 35 cents back that I can reinvest,” Sus said. “Knowing those credits are coming makes us more apt to do the work.”
Touch Studios is a forerunner in utilizing digital media tax credit

November 2, 2010, Jameson Quave shared his experiences with New Orleans City Business writer Jennifer Larino for her article entitled, “Digital tax incentive still seeking video game score.” Since the digital media tax credit was created by the Louisiana Economic Development initiative in 2007, Touch Studios has been the only local company to use the incentive for video game development. “When people bring up the digital media incentive, I don’t hear them talking about video games,” Jameson was quoted as saying. Which is ironic because the incentive was initially targeted at the video game industry itself and only later broadened to include other software development.
