Madden Media: Vetted Photo and Video Crews for Tourism Shoots in Seven States
Madden Media makes tourism campaigns that need lead photographers, video operators and behind-the-scenes shooters on location, often with only weeks to go. Spexster put forward vetted candidates for every role, ran pre-production meetings, and handled contracts and escrow payments, so each shoot was crewed on time.
A three-day commercial shoot in Arizona. Video in Alabama. A campaign in California. A run through four Midwest states. Each needed different people behind the camera, hired within one to four weeks of the shoot date. Sifting applications, vetting candidates and negotiating contracts one by one was too slow for that schedule.
About Madden Media
Madden Media is a marketing agency specializing in tourism-driven campaigns. Its projects need photographers, videographers and production crew in many different US locations.
The Project
Crew a series of tourism shoots across Arizona, Alabama, California, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa. Each project needed a mix of lead photographers, behind-the-scenes shooters and video operators.
The Challenge
Every hire had to be secured within one to four weeks of the shoot date. Managing contracts, payments and logistics for several roles in several states, without one system to run them, added risk and slowed everything down.
How Spexster Helped
Instead of searching for candidates, Madden Media received five or more vetted candidates per role. Spexster scheduled pre-production meetings to align the creative before each shoot, and ran contracts and escrow payments through the platform, so the team could focus on the work itself.
