Summary

This week Daniel is joined by Todd Schweikert, VP of Studio Production for Rue Gilt Groupe to discuss metrics and how to use them to support your team in day-to-day operations. Granular category level data in production can help you plan more accurately, but give you the ability to load balance when bottlenecks arise. 

Key Takeaways

• Understanding what comes through your studio and how long it takes is invaluable data to run.
• Touch bases that rely on this data help keep teams on the same page and prevent silos from developing.
• Many of the ways the studio uses data come from the bottom up, ensuring that studio teams understand the information and how it impacts the operation of the studio.
• It's not enough to understand the data, but also what goes into it and how it's collected. Context is vital.
• Remember that your perspective is limited, and you need to include other perspectives to ensure across-the-board accountability.
• Performance metrics are a reflection of employee satisfaction.

Summary

David Iscove, Creative Technology Practice Lead at Cella, joins Daniel to take a high level look at how editorial content production fits into the marketing landscape. From our bird's-eye view of editorial content production and it's interface with marketing at large, we talk about the current state of marketing. We touch on how our creative production specific technology should interface with our stakeholders, and what we can unlock when effective communication and technology are in place. 

Key Takeaways

• Cella is a creative production industry consultation firm, specializing in large scale brands and retailers.
• Cella surveys the industry regularly to learn about what challenges large scale brands are encountering with creative production and marketing at large.
• With the increase in need for content across the ever expanding landscape of marketing channels, the need for insight into any one specific content request is greater than ever. Technology to support this for the production teams is an absolute necessity.
• Typical project management tools are generally too broad to be very effective as a studio production management tool. The data objects that go into a studio request explode in several different directions and require very specific tools to ensure effective management.
• To better support our marketing stakeholders, we need to aggregate data from a studio specific management tool to give visibility outside of the studio.
• Using the right tools and building the right communication lines can make it much easier to connect goals from the top level of the org down to individual departments and teams.
• We need to learn to think about the true asset lifecycle. The asset does not begin when the camera clicks or the designer saves the file. The asset begins at the request and ends after analytics around performance are captured and reviewed.
• David will be speaking as part of the Photo Studio Operations Forum 2021. Check the links below for more information.

Humble Bee Films is an independent production company based in Bristol. In case you’re not familiar with what a production manager does - they oversee the logistics of a TV production - booking travel and accommodation, arranging for equipment to be delivered on shoots, organising contributors, staffing for productions, health and safety on location, clearing rights - basically anything that involves organising. 💁🏻‍♀️💅🏼 They usually work with a team of production co-ordinators and production management assistants.

Production Managers are absolutely ace and an integral member of a TV production team. I was super happy to have secured Elena as a guest because of her impressive CV and the fact that she is of East Asian heritage - I’ve wanted to have someone of this background for ages!

Elena’s credits include Attenborough’s Life in Colour 🌱🍃🍂🍁🌳🌍 🌈 which aired on BBC 1 and Netflix and she’s working on a blue chip natural history series for a subscription video on demand service which we can’t talk too much about because she’s under an NDA!

Elena has been a production manager for 8 years now for a number of Indies as well as for Aardman Animations.

Her top 3 KIRS:

1️⃣ Being Kind - to both others and yourself

2️⃣ Listening to others (even if you might not agree with them)

3️⃣ Being aware of the positive and negative aspects of my heritage and actively applying that to how I learn and grow as a person

We talk about emotional well-being, taking in opposing views to get the big picture and our mutual love for Russell Brand and his podcast. ❤️🎧🎙
