Communication and consultancy

Much of Open Media's non-broadcast work must necessarily remain confidential but here is some information about a recent corporate client, the major advertising agency M & C Saatchi.

"When M&C Saatchi says fly-on-the-wall, it doesn't mean one man and a DV camera. Inviting Open Media, best known for its show After Dark, in-house to make a corporate documentary this summer, it made sure it brought in DOP David Odd (Our Mutual Friend) and director Graham Moore (Soldier, Soldier), who shot talking heads at the agency for two months under the eye of M&C MD Tim Duffy.

The brief was to expand on ideas from the company's manifesto, with some of the industry's finest telling what drives good advertising. The result may be high gloss, says executive producer Sebastian Cody, but it also records 'a level of honesty' that surprised him, given it's the first time the Saatchi breakaway has allowed unrestricted access behind scenes. The finished film will be used by M&C Saatchi both internally and externally."
