DDB/Chicago


The Storm Before a Meta Media Calm

 

They say, "When it rains, it pours." Such was the case with escalating client demand for post services in COM3, the in-house production/post facility at advertising giant DDB/Chicago. COM3 was in scramble mode to beef up its editorial output along with the accompanying digital assets management and recognized that the expertise and experience of Meta Media™ Creative Technologies was a critical component to success.

 

Meta Media delivered in the areas of technical recommendations, system configuration, workflow establishment and the all-important performance monitoring and follow-up. Their initial consultation and implementation of Final Cut Server and Xsan 2 conformed to the specific needs of COM3 and was delivered in a cost-effective and timely fashion. Additionally, Meta Media's commitment to follow through and hardware/software updates along with fast response to the occasional emergency call is of the highest order. For all things Apple as it relates to post-production, including creative DAM initiatives, look no further than the professionals at Meta Media.
