“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” – Author Michael Altshuler
If there’s one thing the media and entertainment (M&E) industry has in short supply, it’s time. Deadlines keep shrinking, creative demands keep growing, and internal teams find themselves racing the clock. Every hour matters, and every delay has a ripple effect on everything from budgets to creativity to team morale.
Time and again M&E teams overextend themselves to meet challenging timelines. What’s left in the wake is exhaustion, burnout, and delays in output. But here’s the thing that no one talks about enough: managing time doesn’t have to mean squeezing your internal teams dry. It’s about working smarter, not harder. And increasingly, that means leveraging scalable resources from managed service providers like Vubiquity to thrive under the pressure.
The challenge of condensed timelines
We’ve all felt the pinch of a tight deadline, but in media and entertainment, often it’s not just a pinch. Whether it’s seasonal content, unexpected campaign launches, or a quick pivot to meet market trends, production schedules are getting shorter.
Here’s the problem: When shrinking timelines hit, internal teams often must pick up the slack. They’re working long hours and weekends to keep projects on track. And while that’s a short-term solution, it’s important to acknowledge that constant pressure could cause burnout, errors, and high turnover rates. Sound familiar? This isn’t just an operational challenge; it’s a business challenge that can compromise your competitive edge.
