Length: One-day
Although technologies constantly change, the cost of production continues to rise regardless of the technology employed to produce commercials. The issue at hand is what can be done to offset these omnipresent cost increases or at the very least contain costs. This issue is not one, however, that can be addressed in isolation. It is, in fact, inextricably intertwined with the advertising creative process. Ultimately, the challenge is to identify a process that will maximize production dollar investment to achieve the optimum value without compromising the creative product. This intensive one-day course addresses these complex issues within the pragmatic context of providing solutions to control these costs, minimize the investment risk, and gain a better understanding and command of the process.
