Around five live events a year, each needing a crew assembled from outside the company — freelancers, content creators and production partners. Most were new each time, none of them reported to me, and the date was already public.
The difficult part is not finding people. It is holding quality and deadlines across people who do not work for you.
- Defined the roles and wrote the briefs before sourcing started
- Sourced and selected freelancers and content creators
- Onboarded them onto the account — access, tools, brief, and what finished actually meant
- Managed external providers and production partners alongside the freelance crew
- Held quality and deadlines across people with no reporting line to me
Client work stays confidential. Names, figures and dates are invented. The structure, the formulas and the process are the real ones.
The next case file is yours.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. Tell me what's breaking and I'll tell you which of the three it is.
