THE PRODUCER MODEL
Producers are the critical connective tissue driving both quality and profitability.
In today's competitive landscape, the traditional separation of project management and account/program management creates inefficiency, erodes margins, and leads to strategic disconnects. Our Producer Model transforms how teams operate by integrating client/stakeholder partnership, team leadership, and business intelligence into a single, powerful discipline.
Having established and implemented this model across multiple org types, we provide a complete blueprint for restructuring your teams, defining roles, and establishing the systems that make the Producer Model work. You'll receive practical frameworks and guidance to implement this change with minimal disruption while maximizing impact on both work quality and business performance.

CASE STUDY
Systematizing Creative Excellence
Client:
An in-house creative and design studio that makes inspiring brand moments to educate, inspire, and connect people in meaningful ways with a leading AI product.
Engagement:
A new Managing Director was tasked with fortifying a world-class creative and design operation to take a leading AI brand into the future. We supported strategic planning, team design, and change management to spark the group’s evolution and enable creative excellence at scale.
In order to enable creative excellence at scale, the Production discipline also needed to evolve. We helped architect an industry-leading Production discipline with clear frameworks and critical foundational standards and materials. We established a framework for Production discipline management, mentorship, and connection that establishes and grows best-in-class approaches.

You can update your structure while staying grounded in your values. The specifics of your culture will power your evolution and allow you to meet a moment of change with velocity and inspiration, rather than confusion and fear.
