Client Production Consulting / Cost Controlling

All too often clients find themselves being put under pressure to sign off TV production budgets.

The main subject of weekly meetings becomes the shrinking window of a director’s availability, followed by a growing concern on your part whether cheapest means cost effective or if paying over the odds will actually secure that award.

Which is where we come in.

Our 25 years of production experience means we speak everyone’s language, whether it’s a ‘shrinking window’ or knowing if you really got the best deals, we can bring an objective pair of eyes to look at budgets and timings while collaborating with your agency and production company.

We know the ‘cost’ of taking things away and the importance of finding creative solutions to production challenges that don’t expose you to later, extra charges.

We know what clients should and shouldn’t be charged for, and whether that machine that makes a double Frappuccino latte with Pygmy goats milk should be in your budget at all.

And sometimes, while that window of availability may be shrinking, it’s just about knowing when to press pause, slow it all down, and remind everyone of the detail.

Challenge the process not the costs, and the budget will fall exactly where everyone wants it, leaving creative ambitions firmly in place.

We’re on the touchline with you, and that means you enjoy a wide angle view of the whole shoot – supported by 25 years of experience.
