FAQ.

Why did I write this book?

I wrote the playbook while working at agencies in New York like Big Spaceship, Laundry Service, and Huge on various projects for a range of clients. While each project was unique, I saw how they each had similar, if not the same problems that could be solved the same way. The playbook teaches you how to implement a more consistent process and enable teams to do their best work without getting in their own way. This playbook is everything I've learned.

Who is The Producer Playbook for?

The Producer Playbook is for:

• Project Managers & Producers who want to level up
• Executive Producers & Program Managers who need to better document the process for their team
• Anyone looking to break in a crush it at an advertising agency
