As the Production Manager of Editorial Imagery at NBCUniversal, my primary responsibility was to manage the entire image workflow for SkyShowtime, NBCUniversal and Paramount Global's joint-venture.
SkyShowtime is a streaming service appearing across 22 territories in Europe in 20 different languages. As the lead, I managed a team of designers and an Operations team in interfacing with partners and key stakeholders working to create over 267,000 images a year. The images we created required versioning beyond the typical specs required by GraceNote. Additionally, they were localized to accommodate all required languages and regional sensitivities.
Boasting over 4000 films and series from brands such as Paramount, Universal Studios, NBC, Peacock, A24, StudioCanal, and more, SkyShowtime required that each title be localized for all 22 territories.
In addition to creating the images ourselves, we interfaced and worked with all of our partners to source and create the imagery.
Over the course of 3 years, this amounted to over 786,967 images published to platform.
As the team making the editorial decisions, I created a series of imagery guidelines that allowed my team and I to optimize the imagery for each title to increase interaction and click through.
This entire workflow was one that I created from the ground up. Many of the tools we used were created in-house with me and my team's input; this included Digital Asset Management Systems, Data trackers, and work trackers.
