Hey AIR team,
How do you confirm a company that approaches you from Europe is legitimate? I have a media company from Turkey asking me to quote some animation for them. They have a website, have given their address (which is an actual address on google maps), and have given phone numbers which I haven't tried yet. I have let them know that if we work together, I'd require 50% up front, 35% midway and 15% before delivery of final elements and they say they're fine with that. Anything else?

Have a onsite with the Google Finance Ops team in a couple of weeks. It looks likely they have been on a hiring spree for process and program manager roles. My background is in supply chain contd...

Does EY GDS has a office in Gurgaon too or is it noida only?

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

Hi everyone. Any one from Enbridge and willing to help me to get a referral for a role in Calgary. The role is for a Data advisor.

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally. If I interview again for a differenr role, would I have to do all the interviews again or can I use some of the scores from previous interviews. I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you

Help! Any events and activation production companies in london?

Hi everyone! Thanks for starting this group, Veronica and Ann!

Hi everyone! Happy to join this bowl. I rep for a production/post house and also rep directors. nice to e meet you!

Hello! Looking for animators that can work with a production house (so not animation studio but independents) any of you have them on roster? 3D / board is stylized kind of a diorama look. If that makes sense. Basically shoot me reels if you have 3D folks on your roster. If I see something I can share more details. Thanks!

Anyone attending AICP/ Dallas? Let us know we’ve got a fun get together to invite ya to!

Reps: do you feel it’s wrong to submit Freece directors for jobs over your paying rostered clients? If the lead isn’t a fit for your rostered clients is leaving the opportunity (and potential money) on the table the “right” thing to do or are you stuck feeling a sense of loyalty to the producer seeking talent?

Producers: what do you wanna see (or not see) when visiting a sales rep’s website?

Reps, you have a client who you’ve had for less than a year. You’ve helped them secure a couple small jobs in that time span. They book a big job with an agency that isn’t a house account but certain producers and clients at that agency are noted as house accounts. The job came through a reco from one of those house account producers. Do you charge the full 25k commission, even though you didn’t really have a hand in the sale, and the client already had a strong relationship with the agency?

Producers: how good are you with sharing the shortlist with reps if their submitted directors/talent didn’t make the cut?

What is the average fee (%) for commission only rep ?

Hey guys I just lost the Livley job out of Davis elen. Any of you get it

Just read the sad news of the death of 1st AD John Nolan. (See wheresspot for thread) While I hope be didn't contract Covid on either of the 2 sets mentioned prior to his illness and death, if it comes back that he did, we need to have a long hard chat about what went wrong. Condolences to his family. Truly horrible news.

Great group for us to have
