Summary
FAQs
Q: What types of vendors do you work with?
A: I have deep experience negotiating with a wide range of third-party vendors, including production companies, editorial and finishing vendors, music houses, animation studios, casting agents, and talent representatives. I work closely with agencies and client teams to ensure all vendor costs are aligned with the approved creative and managed strategically.
Q: How do you deliver cost tracking updates?
A: I provide a live Google Sheets tracker that’s updated weekly real-time and shared with agency and client teams. This gives all stakeholders visibility into costs, changes, and approvals throughout the project lifecycle.
Q: What happens after the campaign wraps?
A: I reconcile all vendor costs, resolve open billing items, and deliver a detailed closeout report. I also offer an optional post-campaign evaluation to help clients and agencies identify process gaps and improve future production cycles.
