Case Study: Album Content Production, Project Management & Marketing Rollout

Executive Summary

Fred & Augustus partnered with the The Devil Makes Three to lead content production and project management for an album release campaign. The goal was to create a compelling suite of visual assets that reflected the band’s identity and could power a strategic multi-channel rollout—on time, on budget, and with creative cohesion.

Our Role

Fred & Augustus served as Content Producer for the project, working closely with the artist and their team across all phases of planning, production, and delivery. Our responsibilities included:

  • Budget Oversight: Managing the overall project budget to ensure a balanced investment across production and post.
  • Creative Direction & Asset Planning: Contributing to the creative direction of the campaign while also defining a clear deliverables list—identifying the types of content needed to support both the immediate release and future marketing efforts. 
  • Pre-Production & On-Site Management: Leading all aspects of the content capture day, including scheduling, shot planning, and real-time coordination. We worked in close collaboration with the videographer to capture a wide range of assets optimized for social, email, and web.
  • Cross-Functional Team Collaboration: Acting as the connective thread between videographer, editor, and artist management—facilitating clear communication, tracking timelines, and guiding the project through every round of feedback and approval.
  • Post-Production Management: Providing detailed creative input and structured revision notes to the editor, ensuring all final assets met the band’s visual and brand standards.
  • Content Rollout Strategy: Building a comprehensive social media and email calendar that integrated every captured asset into a thoughtful, platform-specific rollout.

Execution & Delivery

We approached this campaign with an intentional, content-first strategy. In pre-production, we defined a deliverables list tailored to the band's release goals—balancing high-impact performance footage, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and short-form content for digital use.

On the content capture day, we facilitated a streamlined shoot that maximized time and creative output. Every shot was captured with multi-use and longevity in mind, ensuring assets could support not only the single release but future touring, catalog and physical promotion, and fan engagement.

Post-shoot, we managed the editing process end-to-end—ideating edits, facilitating feedback loops, and delivering final files ready for platform-native use. We then built out a structured social and email calendar that strategically rolled out the content to build momentum around the release while reinforcing brand consistency across every channel.

Results 

The coordinated production and rollout gave the band a full toolkit of high-quality, on-brand assets that supported engagement across all digital platforms. Because the content was created with flexibility in mind, the band was able to use the visuals well beyond the initial campaign period—maximizing value and reach.

This project exemplified our integrated approach to content production: balancing creative direction with strategic marketing, and ensuring every moving part—team, timeline, and tone—was working in sync.
