Listen

First, we meet to discuss everything about the project. The history of the brand, along with details on the product or service being showcased and the challenges that brought you here.

Ask Questions

Then, we take a deep dive into the specifics. We ask a lot of questions and listen closely to your answers. We continue until everybody is confident the assignment is well understood.

Define Your Goals

Next, we talk about your goals and work with you to define the ways in which you will ultimately measure success. We share our perspective and come to agreement on the desired outcomes.

Ideate

After, we generate ideas for your work that meet or exceed your expectations. We’ll review with you and work together to refine and ultimately come to a consensus for moving forward.

Plan

Later, we’ll present you a project plan with a budget, schedule, key milestones and potential barriers to success. Included is a list of assets and information you will need to provide.

Execute

Finally, once you approve the creative direction, budget, schedule and the project plan, we’ll set off to create the work. Best of all, we’ll keep you involved or informed at every step.

BTS is Producer/Editor Jerry Grant

I didn’t get Mom and Sis’s artistic genes. No magical doodles or classic paintings from these hands. But they did inspire me to find my own creative path.

College was all about film & TV classes. Audio engineering. Writing. I was hooked. Dreamed of getting into sports television. Then, while waiting for Roone Arledge to call, I found myself in the windowless edit bay of an L.A. ad agency, pushing buttons for hours on end. Most people would’ve called it prison. I called it heaven.

TV commercial producing became my thing. Not just the fun stuff, the boring shit too. Strategy. Project management. Problem-solving. Client relationships. I love the creativity of it all but balance matters, and I’ve mastered it.

The numbers? Hundreds of spots, corporate videos and long form. Fortune 500 giants to struggling non-profits. Awards for creativity? Got ’em. Marketing effectiveness? Those too. As an Executive Producer across two global networks, I ran teams and managed $60 million+ in production that generated billions in sales. Real results, not PowerPoint promises.

Then came the “restructuring.” That corporate euphemism for “unless you want to move 1400 miles to keep your job, we don’t want you. Besides, you’re pushing 50.” I learned what I already knew…experience has an expiration date.

I reinvented. Learned digital project management and got my PMP certification. Worked with teams half my age who thought TikTok was the first social platform. I brought something they couldn’t: decades of knowing what actually moves people versus what just looks cool in a case study.

When COVID locked everyone up, I pivoted back to video editing. Updated my tech skills. Fell in love again. Creating. Arranging. Refining until it’s right. No corporate buzzwords about “content creation journeys” or “visual storytelling paradigms.” Just making shit that works.

BTS is one person with deep and serious resources. An “extra miler” who gives a damn about every project I agree to take on.

My value? I know what moves people to act. And it’s not some vague “synergistic multi-platform expertise” bullshit.

Don’t let the attitude concern you. I know you have a lot of choices. I just needed your attention.

Let’s make something real together.
