The production companies stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK production cos — film, TV, branded content — pitch tracking, talent rights, shoot schedule, edit pipeline.

01 · Pitch tracking

Brief to commission, audit-able.

Every pitch logged with the editor, the deck, the deadline, the outcome. Win-rates by editor, by format, by season — the data the next pitch deck deserves.

  • Notion or Airtable pipeline
  • Editor & commissioner CRM
  • Pitch deck versioning
  • Win-rate analytics
02 · Talent + rights

Releases signed, IP chain intact.

Every release form signed and filed before the cut goes out. Music licences cleared with terms attached. The IP chain holds when a buyer asks five years from now.

  • DocuSign signing flow
  • Rightsline or custom register
  • Music licence tracker
  • IP chain & archive
03 · Shoot schedule + crew

Pre-pro, shoot, wrap — on one calendar.

Talent availability, kit hire, edit suite, location — booked off the same calendar so nothing gets double-booked and the call sheet writes itself.

  • Shared production calendar
  • Talent & kit availability
  • Auto call-sheet generation
  • Crew rates archive
04 · Edit pipeline

Frame.io reviews, version-controlled.

Edit, colour, sound — every version reviewable, comments timecoded, sign-off captured. The producer knows what's locked and what's still open without a Slack archaeology dig.

  • Frame.io review + approval
  • Version control & lock
  • Adobe / DaVinci / Premiere
  • Sign-off audit trail
05 · Distribution

Deliver to the platform that pays.

Deliverables specs by platform, mastered to BBC / Netflix / branded specs, delivery audit-trailed. Invoice triggered on delivery acceptance, not before.

  • Per-platform delivery specs
  • Master & deliverable archive
  • Delivery acceptance log
  • Invoice trigger on accept
06 · BrainBase

Style, talent, rates — searchable.

House style guide, talent roster with rates and availability, supplier rates by category, archive of past projects. The producer answers a brief in minutes, not days.

  • Style guide & tone
  • Talent roster & rates
  • Supplier rates archive
  • Past-project library
Sample engagement

The eight-staff production co that cut pitch-to-greenlight to six days.

Eight staff. Forty pitches a quarter. The greenlights took two weeks because nobody owned the chase.

An independent production company of eight ran pitches across three inboxes and a shared Notes app — pitches got dropped, follow-ups slipped, greenlights took two weeks because nobody owned the chase. Three-week build: an Airtable-backed pitch pipeline with editor CRM, auto-reminders, deck versioning, and a BrainBase of past-project metadata the producers could search. Six months in: pitch-to-greenlight cut from 14 days to 6, win-rate up four points on the same volume.

How we measure: Pitch-to-greenlight measured as date of first pitch send to date of formal commission across 84 pitches pre-build and 92 post; win-rate = commissioned / pitched, normalised by editor.
