Working as a producer at major companies/agencies in Tokyo, I was disappointed at some of the overhead costs passed onto the client, and the inefficiencies that cost unnecessary working hours. Sometimes it makes sense to have big companies and their processes, for the rest of us, we just want to get it done.
As a freelance digital producer, I continue to maintain the networks from my previous agencies and engage in valuable knowledge sharing, whilst keeping overhead costs low and making turnaround as quick as possible.
