Entertainment & Media Industry

We assist our clients in identifying and managing risks to ensure the successful monetization of their content IP. Our team develops tailored risk management strategies designed specifically for the unique needs of your content project. We provide ongoing consultative support throughout its lifecycle, ensuring continued success. 

Creating content requires both time and money (A+B).  Additionally, content needs Marketing & Sales efforts, which also require more time and money (C+D).

((A+B) +(C+D)) = This results in a Project 'Gross Negative,' excluding the gross sales margin of profit (up to 50% or more, with heavily negotiated distribution terms).  The investor breakeven rule is typically 3X the project budget.

If you are looking to create or invest into content properties, our team will help you establish a content strategy and risk guidelines through contingency-phased & milestone funding commitments.  Our decades of experience have proven a positive formula for success, including our evolving monetary content strategies with 'direct-to-consumer' digital streaming options.

We call it "The 6 P's" - Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Productions. The content development stage is the lifeblood of creativity and storytelling. Our team helps identify project cost-to-value strategies aligned with risk guidelines and content strategy. Some projects remain in development for years because when 'stars don't align' and contingencies aren't met, the next phase of production investment is delayed.

High-quality content is essential for capturing the audience's attention, building a loyal fan base, and driving viewership. From scriptwriting and storyboarding to production and post-production, every stage of content development requires meticulous planning and execution.

Engaging narratives, compelling characters, and visually stunning scenes are crucial elements that can set a film or TV show apart in a crowded market. By investing in robust content development processes, filmmakers and TV producers can create memorable and impactful stories that leave a lasting impression on viewers and drive sales.

The Production phase represents the highest risk for an investment and includes Pre-production, Production and Post-production expenses.  Production efficiency is directly influenced by the quality of success from the Development phase.  

The most effective production crews are those who have experience working together on prior projects.  Many of the top producers and directors only work with a core team.  Keeping schedule on a production is just shy of a miracle in itself, but there certainly is a difference in overspending if the production team is not in sync.  It could mean the difference in cutting scenes or losing an actor or not finishing principal photography, then leads to losing your distributor.  An opportunity can all fall apart very fast with an uncoordinated production team.

T.O. Advisory Group is here to help with production management by collaborating viable production teams with historical and collective success.

Our last investment phase is marketing and selling the content property.  This is known as exhibition or distribution, and there are many sub-segments of distribution.

At T.O. Advisory Group, we provide expert guidance on the best strategies for distributing your content across various platforms, including streaming services, social media, and traditional channels.  

Our team helps you navigate the complexities of licensing, rights management, and audience targeting, ensuring that your content is accessible, engaging, and profitable.  By leveraging our expertise, your project can maximize reach, enhance viewer engagement, and achieve your distribution goals in a competitive market.
