Optimizing your Production Process and Spend (Half Day)

How to Up Your Production IQ to Maximize Your Process and Budgets
(Half Day Workshop)

Marketers struggle to stretch their limited production budgets because they contend with a complex media ecosystem. By understanding the ins and outs of the production process and by knowing what drives the cost of producing your content assets, you are empowered to make better production decisions. This awareness also makes it easier for you to choose the appropriate agency and production partners. Ultimately, it is the partners you choose that are vital to your production efficiency, effectiveness, and ROI.

Learn about best practices as well as your optimal role and responsibilities in the production of content (TV/video, photography, OOH, digital/social, etc.). This workshop will increase your knowledge about what works, and it will improve your ability to develop better content integration. To give you an advantage over your peers, this workshop also provides learning on the unique nuances and challenges of producing content for social platforms. As an added benefit, you will also gain insight into the latest production trends, such as transparency and marketer-led production.

This workshop is engaging with discussions, interactive group activities, and case studies. Throughout the session, you will discover how to maximize your ROI and think strategically about your production projects.

This workshop is an excerpt of the ANA workshop “Advertising Production Masterclass.” In the full-day workshop, you will delve deeper into the areas of talent, music, selection of appropriate agency and production partners, social video production challenges, and production trends in the industry.
