Our Process
To you, your ideas, objectives & motivation
We’ll challenge you if need be, and combine our knowledge and experience with your purpose and requirements
You’ll know where we’re going, how we’ll get there, how long it will take, and what it will cost.
After you approve the statement of work (which defines tasks, timelines, milestones and costs), we’ll assign a project manager to your project so you’ll know who’s steering, and who you can go to with questions along the way. Sometimes mid-stream changes need to be made. Fair enough. We’ll produce a change order describing them so everyone understands and agrees on the new schedule, costs, and deliverables. This process saves time, saves money, produces better projects, creates value for you, and ensures a good experience for you and your customers. With over 10 years of experience creating media, we hardly started yesterday, and we’ll be here tomorrow too.
