Have any video producers here gone through the PMP Certification process? If so, did you find it beneficial and relevant to the work that you do? Think it gives you more options in the job market?

IMO its increasingly important as production become more and more content/ tech hybrid. Being a ScrumMaster or PMP will give you an edge as you can work both sides of the production.

It does, but I wouldn’t brag about it, depending on the audience. Many traditional producers consider themselves as an extension of the creative team. More creative than organizing and project managing. But hybrid type producers will be in high demand in the coming years, that’s for certain - so carefully start building your skill sets, and decide which way you want to use them later!

Agreed @FCB1. I feel my role is an extension of the creative team but now more and more is being expected from producers and we’re having to wear the PM hat now, at least in my experience. Also starting to see more job postings saying “PMP a plus” for producers. In an attempt to stay relevant and create an escape plan from Advertising (do ppl retire in this industry or are they kicked out or burned out before it’s time?), it probably doesn’t hurt to go through the process...especially with the feedback I’ve gotten thus far

As FCB states above, the future of Production on the agency side will be full Hybrids

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work.
