Marketing and creative work
Design agency client work
Client work moves in rounds: the studio shows a draft, the client asks for changes, and the next round starts from what was approved. Here one client's job is one project: the client's notes, a to-do list per film, the approved cuts and photos of the sets.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Chat
Marketing campaign
A campaign needs its photos, its store displays, its printed pieces and the product itself ready on the same day. Here the campaign is one project: the shoot photos, the display artwork on a board, to-do lists for bottling and launch week, and the print files.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Boards
Brand identity refresh
A brand refresh puts one new design on a sign, bags, shelf tags and a website, each with its own maker's proofs. Here the refresh is one project: artwork moving through review on a board, sample photos, suppliers' news, and to-do lists for each piece.
Tools: Boards, To-dos, Docs & Files, Message Board, Chat
Website redesign
A new website means rewriting pages, reviewing them with the client and building new features, all before one launch date. Here the rebuild is one project: design decisions, a photo shoot, every page on a board, feature to-do lists and the client calls.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, Boards, To-dos, Chat, Calendar
Ad campaign
An ad campaign goes through rounds of client review, and each poster, print ad and radio spot has a deadline at a printer or a station. Here the campaign is one project: the shoot photos, each piece's approvals on a board, the media dates and the client's paperwork.
Tools: Docs & Files, Message Board, Boards, To-dos, Calendar, Check-ins
Documentary production
A documentary is often edited while it is still being filmed, and its archive footage and music must be cleared before it screens. Here the film is one project: location and shoot photos, every scene on a board, the music and archive lists, and the crew's chat.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, Boards, To-dos, Chat
Dance premiere
A dance premiere has one opening night, and the music, costumes, shoes, floor and lighting all have to be ready for it. Here the premiere is one project: studio and costume shop photos, the costume board, the rehearsal calendar and lists for music, costumes, light and opening night.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Calendar
Magazine production
A magazine issue has a fixed date at the printer, and every piece must be written, edited, checked and laid out before it. This project holds every piece on a board from drafting to layout, the cover shoot's photos, the page proofs, the to-dos and the flatplan.
Tools: Message Board, Boards, Docs & Files, To-dos
Seasonal campaign launch
A seasonal campaign runs for a few weeks, so its photos, mailer, posts and store displays all have to be ready on its first day. This project holds the greenhouse shoot, posts and emails on a board, to-dos for the mailer and displays, and store photos.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Boards
Podcast season
A podcast season is often still being reported and edited when its first episodes come out, so each episode is at a different stage. This project holds each episode's to-dos on the progress chart, the scripts and reel log, studio and field photos, and the team's chat.
Tools: Docs & Files, To-dos, Message Board, Chat
Farm documentary
A farm documentary is filmed when the farm's work happens, so shoots move on short notice. Here the film is one project: scenes on a board, frame grabs from the lambing barn and cheese cave, lists for the next shoot, interviews and the edit, and the releases.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, Boards, To-dos
Album reissue
A reissue depends on the old masters, a mastering engineer, a pressing plant and a printer, and each of them books weeks ahead. Here the reissue is one project: the transfer and mastering notes, the booklet pages on a board, archive and press photos, and the licenses.
Tools: Message Board, Boards, Docs & Files, To-dos
Runway show
A runway show brings every look, model and guest into one room for one night, and each depends on a fitting, a call time or a seat. This project holds the line-up look by look, the venue and studio photos, casting, fittings and the show calendar.
