Bringing Online Efficiency to the Global Production Services Business

LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2006 –Global Production Network (GPN) joins forces with adbeast bringing high-efficiency online workspaces to a worldwide roster of production service providers.

Impressed by the quality of the show reel that adbeast managed on the GPN website, GPN President Harry Tracosas signed on with adbeast for an online studio. Tracosas was amazed how quickly and easily he was able to manage his own content and collaborate with others. From uploading, editing and presenting new spots to clients to sharing location photographs and pitching projects, using the adbeast system took the complexity out of the production process even when dealing with multiple countries and various time zones around the globe.

“GPN’s job is to present our clients with options, choices and variety, which can be complex at times,” said Tracosas. “Being able to do this quickly and efficiently is key. With adbeast we’ve been able to streamline our process tremendously and deliver high-quality presentations online in a very straightforward way.”

Thanks to GPNs adoption of the adbeast studio, production suppliers from around the world are learning first hand how adbeast can change the way they work by giving them online tools to better manage their productions. Panorama (Italy), Vagabond (Venezuela) and BenitoCine (Chile/Argentina) have already signed on with their own adbeast studios.

“We’re proud to be helping GPN and its network of companies around the world instantly collaborate and coordinate work through a centralized online workspace. It’s great testimony to the power and versatility of the adbeast studio and online network,” said adbeast CEO Steve Hancock.

“I’m always looking for ways to increase the efficiency and the effectiveness of what we do, whether we are researching, bidding or producing jobs,” said Tracosas. “With adbeast working behind the scenes for us, new ways of operating, communicating and sharing information are possible now that haven’t been possible before. We are excited to explore and experience the full adbeast experience, and to share it with our clients.”
