Dear Art Producer

Sabrina Oliva is an Exec. Art Producer at FCB Health and is based in NYC. Prior to that role, she freelanced for 15 years with numerous advertising agencies in the NY area, including Publicis, Grey and McCann. She worked on many major beauty and luxury brands such as Loreal, Cadillac and Lexus.   Heather and Sabrina talk about the new rules for attending in-person portfolio shows, her path to becoming an art producer, the producer’s role, the challenges of shorter timelines and a reduction in talent, the latest in Covid protocols and what clients are asking for right now. They also predict an increase in productions (especially Pharma) through the end of the year and discuss tips for working with production consultants, treatment fees, the review process and the importance of showing new work.   In an industry where the rules are always changing, it’s helpful to hear from those on the front lines.
