How to choose

Frequently asked questions

01How do I write a brief for Production Agencies?

A good brief covers: business problem (not just creative request), success metrics, target audience, hard constraints (timeline, budget, mandatories), and decision-making process. Most engagement issues trace back to vague briefs.

02What is included in the project rate?

Standard inclusions: strategy, creative concept, design, art direction, and project management. Production (film, photo, talent), media and licensing are usually billed separately. Always confirm scope before signing.

03How do agencies bill?

Most Production Agencies bill via fixed project fee + production pass-through, or via monthly retainer for ongoing programmes. Hourly billing is rarer at senior tier.

04How do I shortlist a Production Agency?

Filter the list by region, project type and budget band, then compare portfolios side by side. Use the structured brief tool to send a single RFP to multiple shortlisted Production Agencies at once.

05Can I see client ratings?

Yes. Each profile shows aggregate client recommendation count and recent project ratings where the client has agreed to publish them.
