The Challenge
Production numbers were low, operations were inefficient and the team was losing work to outside agencies. The team was responsible for a wide array of work including internal and external videos, webcasts, and photography, as well as corporate communications, advertising, and the promotion of internal initiatives. The organization lacked confidence in their media team's ability to provide high-quality work and the studio needed to refocus, streamline workflows and increase creativity, all while saving costs.

The SOLUTION
With years of experience in the media industry and systems of best practices, TeamPeople was confident in its ability to find operational efficiencies. Our goal was to be the fresh perspective the studio needed and our priority was to heighten the studio's creative output and achieve operational efficiency in a creative environment. Equally important was the ongoing management of the team. This would include evaluating the employees and positions to be sure that skill sets were being optimized.
At TeamPeople's recommendation, the studio was restructured under a model that consisted of a core team of full-time employees supported by a rotating and robust freelance team.

Additionally, the loyal freelance roster provides surge support that can ramp up at a moment’s notice.
