Madison Media Group (MMG) is an independent, integrated production department with a global reach.

The MMG production service model is designed to adapt to the changing production needs of small and medium-sized advertising agencies and advertisers who do not have their own in-house production departments or who may just need ad hoc production support. 

Our deep production experience on Madison Avenue is the underpinning of everything we do. Our team has worked with advertising agencies, production companies and directly with advertisers. We have produced TV commercials, events, print advertising, digital executions and we certainly have produced a whole lot of what is now called "content."

Because of our unique 360° experience managing both the business side and the execution side of advertising concepts, we can offer a variety of services to our clients. 

And our professional services are always scalable, giving our clients the option to cherry-pick how we can provide assistance.

What makes working with MMG different than just hiring freelancers for my production needs?

 

Our Team

We are - at any given time - Producers, Business Managers, Talent Managers, Traffic Managers and Network Clearance Managers. Our team members are multi-faceted and can manage multiple production roles at the same time.

More skills = fewer individual hires = budget savings for you.

 

Our Experience

Based on our experience, we put risk mitigation front and center of everything we do in production. Advertising is being made in real-time these days. The inclination is to move too fast with limited information. We walk through any and all potential risks tied to the creative idea and oversee the end-to-end production execution. Our top priority is to make sure our clients have the right information, when they need it, to make informed decisions.

 

Our Adaptability

After years of producing for advertising agencies, production companies and advertisers, we pride ourselves on our ability to integrate seamlessly with your in-house teams. Our professional services are always scalable. giving you options to cherry-pick and customize how we can provide you with assistance. We jump in when and where you need us. 

How does your payment structure work?

We can work on retainer, project basis, contract basis and even on a day rate or hourly rate depending on your project. 

How long does it take for an agreement to be put into place? What if I suddenly need to engage your services?

We are very "fleet of foot" after years of managing all kinds of last minute production assignments. Just reach out and let us know what you need.
