Digital delivery is the entire future of the business. Online delivery. Delivery to other platforms like iPods, etc. Clients trying to spend less money due to the credit crunch. We need to protect our margins and do more in-house. Pete Burrows, The Edge. Support Partners’ first major client was Warner Bros (Tim Burton’s acclaimed “Corpse Bride”) with a 7/24 support contract. Support Partners went on to work with BBC Factual and Learning, BBC Natural History Unit, Darlow Smithson, McCann Erickson, The Edge, Red Earth, Mark Stewart Productions, Impossible Films, Walt Disney International Television, Rove and ABC Australia, to name but a few, providing customised digital production services for each client. Some examples of specific client projects can be seen in Case Studies.
Support Partners conducted some client research in 2008 and these were the main trends identified for the next 2 years: Support Partners help us save money by providing a flexible service. They have a good understanding of the BBC and public service industries. Oliver Thompson, Production Innovation Executive at BBC
Across the globe production and post-production processes are being brought in-house.We know because Support Partners has been involved in some of the largest and most prestigious designs and builds in Europe. From broadcast, through to documentary production, advertising and into the corporate communications sector, our clients are continuing to see considerable benefits. Post production can be brought in-house. Instead of spending vast sums within the external post-house, most financially-aware companies are seeing the value of bringing much of that process in-house. Done thoughtfully, and with the right augmentation of support behind the scenes, the modern production company is now vertically-integrating its process and practice- from scripting right through to tape delivery. |
