FOR AGENCY HEADS OF PRODUCTION
Keep your productions on time without the bureaucratic delays.
Back-office production support for TV commercials, digital ads, and branded content. And third party union signatory services to facilitate the hire of talent and crew.
THE REALITY
Commercial production challenges are slowing your agency down
Commercial Budget Pressure
Clients demand more deliverables—TV spots, social cutdowns, influencer content—while production budgets stay flat. Every dollar saved on back-office operations matters.
Scaling Without Overhead
Busy season hits and you need to ramp up commercial production capacity fast—but hiring full-time production accountants and business affairs staff isn't practical.
Fast Turnaround Demands
Quick-turn social content, reactive campaigns, and last-minute client requests mean you need a production partner who can move as fast as your agency does.
Multi-Market Commercial Campaigns
Producing TV spots and digital ads across multiple markets means juggling different union locals, talent agreements, and regional compliance requirements for every shoot.
SAG-AFTRA Contract Complexity
Commercial contracts, residual tracking, holding fees, and usage rights across broadcast, digital, and social platforms require specialized expertise most agencies don't have in-house.
Union Compliance Risk
One misstep with IATSE crew requirements, Teamsters agreements, or SAG-AFTRA session fees can mean costly fines, production delays, or strained union relationships.
