Before we begin /

A few things to know.

Does a commission guarantee editorial coverage?

No. Commercial production and independent editorial decisions are separate. Any paid content published by CTRL carries a visible disclosure.

How are scope and pricing decided?

Through the brief. Subject, production requirements, channels, licensing, and timing inform a proposal. Pricing is set in the proposal.

Can the project include a larger creative campaign?

Larger creative projects may be referred to KONSORTIUM. It is a separate business; a referral does not guarantee editorial coverage by CTRL.

Let’s start with the brief.

Start with the subject, location and intended use.
A date or budget range helps if you have one.

What makes a useful brief?
  • What you want to make and who it is for.
  • Where it will appear, and when you need it.
  • Access, existing material and any permissions to arrange.

You don’t need a finished plan.
Scope, rights and cost are agreed before work begins.

Editorial independence

Commissioned work is labeled.
Paid services never guarantee independent coverage, favorable reviews, or scores.
