Put down some roots!

Executive Producer, Television production studio of major network

The Challenge

Making the leap from a traditional management role in corporate America to starting a production company in Hollywood comes with its fair share of challenges. The odds of success may increase if you’re also an actor and your pal and founding partner in said production company happens to be a well-known Emmy Award winning actor and comedian…but still, there is no proven success formula to apply here. But this duo had a vision. They had passion and the perseverance they knew it would command, and they were committed to doing everything in their power to ensure their success.

The Solution

The production company was born of the founding partners shared vision and they wanted to stay true to it. In the world of entertainment, where things can go sideways fast, they agreed they needed to establish a solid foundation. The wanted to clearly articulate what they wanted to be and didn’t want to be. They wanted to avoid letting the industry define them and protect themselves from getting caught in a cycle of producing content that didn’t align with their vision.
Tapping into that corporate background, the founders believed that there was an opportunity to bolster their fledgling company with a tried-and-true practice that businesses often employ. Based on experience, they understood the value of a strategic roadmap and sought the expertise of Red Rooster Consulting. Specifically, they engaged the team for professional guidance in clearly articulating their vision and mission. They wanted to align on the values that would guide their choices, actions, and interactions as they navigated the ever-evolving entertainment industry and produced work that enhanced their reputation, invited opportunity, and supported healthy sustainable growth for the company.

In every session, they kept our entire team fully engaged, made sure every voice was heard, and brought the disciplined approach that ensured we were creating a strategic foundation that was practical for our company to live by today, and flexible enough to accommodate for future growth and inevitable change.”

My best advice to those just starting out in this industry is to ‘put down some roots!’. It’s one of the few ways to ensure that you retain some control over your destiny.”
