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

My appreciation for creativity began at a young age, where I marveled at the paintings and doodles my mom and sister both imagined and created. Though I didn’t inherit the same gene for freehand magic, I received plenty of encouragement to pursue my passions and find creative perspective in everything I did.

In college, I took some film classes, fell in love with the camera and learned to write, shoot and edit a story. My early years in the L.A. advertising scene were spent working with talented creatives, shooting video and pushing buttons for hours on end in dark, windowless edit bays. I was in heaven.

I later realized a calling as an TV commercial producer, equally valued for my creativity and strategic insights as for my project management and problem-solving expertise. I’ve made it central to my professional purpose to always find the balance.

Over the years, I produced 100’s of spots, for Fortune 500 giants to local non-profits, winning several awards and citations for creativity, as well as marketing and sales effectiveness. As an Executive Producer and the VP of Production for two global agency networks, I was responsible for over $60 million in commercial production, generating billions in sales for our retail clients. As a Creative Services Project Manager in the digital world, I earned my PMP certification and worked alongside great creative teams and clients, providing ideas, solutions & efficiency for online & social media projects.

When Covid-19 hit and many of us turned to working from home, I pivoted back into the editor’s chair, where once again, I delight in creating and arranging ideas, scenes and sounds…editing, refining and polishing until everything is just right.

Today, I work with brands, agencies, entrepreneurs and non-profits as an independent producer/consultant and video editor, helping them realize and maximize the potential of their programs and ideas. And though BTS is but one person, I bring a deep set of resources, connections and experience to every project.

Stylistically, I’m an ‘extra miler’, always striving to make an appreciable difference in the success of the organizations I work with. This mindset, combined with my comprehensive experience in the strategies and processes for creating work that moves people to act, are my added value.
