Every Day Your Ads Blend In, Leads Go Elsewhere.

Major law firms are locked in an endless spending war for qualified leads and high-value cases. When media dollars no longer create an edge, the advantage comes from creative that people remember, relate to and trust.

AdWaken’s 6-Step Creative Production Process

  • We begin with an intro call to understand the opportunity and its objectives, as well as to determine fit. We have an open discussion around the brief, timeline, budget and compliance standards. We then tailor the Scope of Work, review it and finalize it before jumping in.

  • Whether you already have an approved script ready for production or want us to develop the creative from the ground up, we tailor this phase to what’s needed—from strategy and scripts to researching, testing, and refining the production approach.

  • Pre-Production is where we begin to bring the look, feel and sound of the concept to life. We develop character and voice options, wardrobe, and locations from scratch, shaping those details around your story and establishing the direction for production.

  • Production moves through three structured rounds: rough renders, refinement, then polish, with scenes being enhanced as we go. Each round is scheduled to include time for consolidating feedback, as well as compliance review, as needed.

  • Once picture is locked, we apply color grading, sound design and the final mix. We also finalize graphics, brand elements, titles, and legal copy. The content is then routed for final client and compliance approvals.

  • Whether delivering additional aspect ratios or a standard 16:9 broadcast master, we provide final assets according to the specs agreed upon in the Scope of Work. Before delivery, we check each scoped asset against the media plan specs to make sure it’s ready to go live.
