FOCUS PAPER The creative supply chain under control<br />

Process Component What happens in this step? What information is required? Who are the participants? How can software support the process?<br />

New Project<br />

Briefing <strong>and</strong> Quotes<br />

Procurement <strong>and</strong> Creation<br />

<strong>Review</strong> <strong>and</strong> Feedback<br />

Assembly of the briefing for a new<br />

project,<br />

Internal coordination of given<br />

guidelines <strong>and</strong> conditions.<br />

The briefing is transmitted to one or<br />

more of the selected service<br />

providers (internal or external).<br />

This is followed by visual inspection,<br />

clarification of questions, <strong>and</strong> if<br />

necessary, submitting a quote.<br />

The production order is issued <strong>and</strong><br />

the actual creative process begins.<br />

Designs <strong>and</strong> concepts are created,<br />

commented upon, <strong>and</strong> revised.<br />

Challenge: Feedback from various<br />

persons must be consolidated; there<br />

may be contradictions; back <strong>and</strong><br />

forth corrections; time loss.<br />

As much as possible!<br />

Basic information such as timing,<br />

cost parameters, client, type of<br />

media to be created.<br />

Content-related information such<br />

as overall concept, objectives,<br />

channels to be activated, etc.<br />

Available <strong>and</strong> appropriate service<br />

providers <strong>and</strong> their contact data.<br />

Offers <strong>and</strong> costs of various service<br />

providers.<br />

First ideas for realization.<br />

Media designs must exist in a<br />

format which makes it possible for<br />

the client to provide feedback.<br />

Change requests <strong>and</strong> feedback<br />

about the designs.<br />

Media designs in versions 1 to x.<br />

Internal person in charge of<br />

marketing <strong>and</strong> internal client (either<br />

marketing itself or another<br />

department; for example, sales <strong>and</strong><br />

distribution or product management).<br />

Project manager <strong>and</strong> service<br />

providers.<br />

Project managers <strong>and</strong> selected<br />

service providers.<br />

Project managers <strong>and</strong> service<br />

providers.<br />

� Depending on the media, specific web-based data forms can<br />

be provided (for example, advertisements, web banners,<br />

brochures, etc.) which include all required information (for<br />

example, printing parameters for printed media, <strong>and</strong><br />

technical data for online media).<br />

� The completeness of this data can e.g. be defined as<br />

prerequisite for the creation of an order.<br />

� Service providers are stored in the software with their<br />

histories <strong>and</strong> evaluations to support the selection process.<br />

� Automatic transmittal of the complete briefing to selected<br />

service providers, <strong>and</strong> automatic notification of project<br />

managers in case of questions or submission of a quote.<br />

� Assignment of contracts via software only allows selected<br />

service providers continued access to the web-based job<br />

file; the remaining service providers now can no longer view<br />

the job.<br />

� A software solution with a review tool allows viewing of<br />

any file format <strong>and</strong> entry of comments in the form of virtual<br />

sticky notes directly online. The service provider can directly<br />

upload source files without file conversion.<br />

� All participants review the same current media version, <strong>and</strong><br />

the comments of others are transparent <strong>and</strong> traceable.<br />
