The Process
Every project presents unique challenges, but a well-managed process guarantees clarity, success, and effective solutions:
- DESIGN & CONCEPTUALIZE. Your project needs a fresh narrative and comprehensive thematic approach which considers and integrates each element, media form and variable into a coherent whole.
- DEVELOP A PRODUCTION PLAN. We’ll identify inside and outside roles and responsibilities to facilitate a smooth and successful production maximizing available time and resources.
- PRODUCE, COMMUNICATE, ITERATE. With a plan and time-frame, assets, support services, and contractors are engaged with clear communication and exceptional project management.
- DELIVER. Well-executed design and preparation anticipates challenges. When unforeseens arise you’ll have a plan and an extended network of support to guarantee successful production.
- FOLLOW-UP. If enhanced audience engagement was the original goal, then an intentional process for re-engagement and further development ensures the protracted success and sets measured goals for future work together.
