    2018 Production Outlook Survey — Jordan Brady

    By Mike MorgeraUpdated:No Comments697 Views

    1) Despite quick turnarounds, insane deadlines and ghastly underfunding of projects, creative problem solving and open communication will always save the day.

    2) More and more, agencies are reaching out to use before going to their clients. I love this for two reasons. First, it’s rewarding to be a part of the creative team early on. Two, we can offer everyone a production reality check, not that everyone listens.

    3) I am currently collaborating with Scooter the Neutered Cat for the fourth year.

    4) I’d love to see more projects where I personally can work with the editor to jumpstart the postproduction process. You know, that Euro way of delivering a cut, then hand the reins over to the agency creative team and editor. It makes sense for both creative and economic reasons and some of my US agency producers pave the way for that.

    5) The Superlounge Diversity Award sends a filmmaker from an under-represented population to Commercial Directing Bootcamp. We started in 2016 and have since helped non-white males learn the ropes of our business.

    6) Forget thoughts. Here’s an action step: announce at both the tech scout and your morning safety meeting on shoot days that this is a set free of misconduct, leering, inappropriate comments and such. Director, 1st AD’s and producers need to set the tone and verbalize the zero tolerance of misconduct of any kind, including the one-thought benign comments. Get woke people.

    Britt Nolan Named CCO For McCann Worldgroup, North America

    Wednesday, November 13, 2024

    Britt Nolan has been hired as chief creative officer at McCann Worldgroup, North America. He will report to Javier Campopiano, global chief creative officer of McCann Worldgroup and McCann.

    Nolan will work directly with the network’s creative leadership in the U.S. and Canada to lead the development of ideas that solve clients’ business challenges, guided by the creativity of the network’s founding philosophy of “Truth Well Told.” Key to this effort will be fostering collaboration across capabilities and agencies, leveraging the network’s talent and expertise in strategy, design, commerce, branding and production to bring its best-in-class offerings to bear for each client.

    “Britt is without a doubt a leader and a point of reference for excellence in our industry,” said Campopiano. “He has led some of North America’s very best work in recent years with incredible range--creating eye-catching, smart, authentic, and funny ways of connecting brands with people. He has a rare track record of success across both creative and business, with a unique understanding of how they power each other. And most importantly, we share a common belief that brand-building is right now more important than it ever was, and the only way to do it is through radical creativity based on human truths. He embodies the very essence of our Truth Well Told philosophy.”

    Most recently president and chief creative officer of Leo Burnett Chicago, Nolan comes to McCann Worldgroup with a track record of creative achievement and business impact, both for his clients and the agencies at which he’s worked. Over the years, his work has won Grand Prix or Best in Show at every major international award show, including over 50 Cannes Lions, as well as recognition... Read More
