Media and Entertainment
Ship work faster. Recover producer hours. Turn more inventory into revenue.
Your team should not be losing days rebuilding campaign reports, hunting for usage rights, chasing approvals, rewriting briefs, or answering the same production questions in Slack.
MVP.dev builds AI automation systems for media and entertainment teams that plug into the tools you already use, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Frame.io, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, ShotGrid, Airtable, Monday.com, Asana, Dropbox, Box, Vimeo, YouTube Studio, WideOrbit, Operative.One, Boostr, Rightsline, FilmTrack, Wrapbook, and GreenSlate.
We help studios, agencies, production companies, publishers, and media operators reduce manual coordination, speed up approvals, surface rights answers, and give producers and sellers more time for work that actually moves revenue.
Production-ready in 3 to 4 weeks.

This is for production companies, creative agencies, digital publishers, broadcasters, podcast networks, video teams, live event operators, and media sales teams that already have demand but lose too much time between brief, production, approval, delivery, and reporting.
You are likely a strong fit if:
- Producers spend hours chasing status, approvals, assets, or missing details
- Campaign reporting still depends on exports, screenshots, and spreadsheet cleanup
- Rights, usage, talent, or clearance questions require digging through old PDFs and emails
- Sales or sponsorship teams rebuild pitch materials manually for every prospect
- Your team uses Frame.io, Airtable, ShotGrid, WideOrbit, Operative.One, Rightsline, or a similar media stack
- You want the workflow layer improved inside your current tools, not a disruptive software migration
If your team is busy but still depends on manual routing, manual research, manual reporting, and manual approvals, there is likely margin and delivery speed trapped inside the workflow.
The fastest wins we usually find
Campaign and production reporting without spreadsheet rebuilding
Media teams often have the numbers. The leak is the time spent pulling them together and explaining what changed.
We build executive dashboards that pull from ad ops, CRM, finance, traffic, and delivery sources so operators can see pacing, revenue, inventory, production status, and exceptions in one place.
Each weekly update can show:
- Which campaigns are pacing behind
- Which projects are stuck in review
- Which accounts need attention
- Which revenue or margin numbers changed
- What action should happen next
For many teams, this can cut weekly reporting prep from 8 to 12 hours to under 2, while giving leadership a cleaner view of revenue, delivery risk, and team capacity.
See the Executive Dashboard Demo →Rights, clearance, and production knowledge retrieval
A producer should not spend 30 minutes hunting for whether a clip, song, image, sponsor mention, or talent contract can be used.
We build cited-answer systems over your approved rights docs, production bibles, contracts, SOWs, brand guidelines, release forms, vendor notes, and internal SOPs.
Your team can ask plain-English questions like:
- Can this asset be used in paid social?
- What are the territory restrictions?
- Which sponsor requirements apply to this deliverable?
- Where is the latest production spec?
- What source document supports this answer?
This can reduce repetitive producer, legal, and ops questions by 20 to 30 percent while keeping answers grounded in cited source material.
See the Knowledge Base Demo →Prospect-specific media pitches without starting from zero
Revenue leaks when sellers know the right story but lose hours turning research into a usable pitch.
We build research-to-proposal workflows that gather prospect context, match it to your inventory or show formats, draft a personalized cover letter, generate a proposal outline, and prepare talking points for the seller.
Each pitch package can include:
- Prospect research summary
- Relevant audience or inventory match
- Personalized campaign angle
- Draft proposal copy
- Sales call talking points
This helps media sales teams prepare better first drafts in 15 to 30 minutes instead of 2 to 4 hours, while keeping the seller in control of the final message.
See the Proposal Builder Demo →Short-form creative variants without tying up the edit bay
Too many paid and social ideas never get tested because the production queue is already full.
We build controlled creative workflows that turn approved scripts and brand rules into draft video variants for internal review, paid social tests, sponsor recaps, or campaign concepts.
The workflow can prepare:
- Script-to-video drafts
- Consistent character or presenter formats
- Voiceover versions
- Kinetic title treatments
- Review-ready MP4 exports
This is not a replacement for your editors. It gives the team more testable drafts and can cut first-pass concept production by 50 percent or more for repeatable formats.
See the Ad Video Studio Demo →Your current tools stay in place
We build the workflow layer around your existing media, production, sales, and finance environment.
Supported and common systems include:
Your projects stay where they are. Your assets stay where they are. Your ad ops, rights, finance, and production tools keep doing their jobs.
We add the workflow layer that reads, routes, summarizes, drafts, checks, and writes back only where appropriate.

Start with one workflow. Prove the ROI. Expand from there.
You do not need a full AI transformation project to get value.
The safest path is to pick one painful workflow, automate it, measure the results, and then expand once the system proves itself.
Most media and entertainment teams start with one of these:
- Campaign reporting and pacing summaries
- Rights and clearance knowledge retrieval
- Production status and approval routing
- Sales proposal drafting
- Creative variant generation
- Asset intake and classification
This keeps the first project focused, measurable, and easier to approve.
Typical engagement range
Most media and entertainment automation builds start with a focused pilot.
Starter Workflow Pilot
Best for one high-value workflow
$7,500 to $15,000
Media Operations Buildout
Best for multiple workflows or multi-team operations
$15,000 to $40,000
Ongoing Optimization and Support
Best for teams that want continuous improvement, reporting, new workflows, and support
$1,500 to $7,500 per month
Final pricing depends on workflow count, system access, asset and document complexity, approval rules, rights controls, and whether the workflow writes back into production systems.
The first step is not a giant commitment. It is a workflow fit assessment that identifies the fastest path to measurable ROI.
What waiting costs
Manual media workflows do not just waste time. They slow delivery, hide risk, and cap the amount of work your team can take on.
Every month you delay:
- Producers spend time chasing updates instead of moving work forward
- Sales teams lose hours rebuilding pitch materials
- Campaign issues are caught after makegoods or client complaints
- Rights and usage questions take longer than they should
- Editors and creatives get pulled into low-value draft work
- New revenue requires more headcount instead of better operating leverage
If your team is already at capacity, automation is not a side project. It is how you create more delivery capacity without simply adding more people.
How the engagement works
Week 1: Find the highest-value leak
We review your production workflow, campaign reporting flow, rights lookup process, sales proposal process, or creative variant process.
You get:
- Workflow map
- Automation opportunity ranking
- KPI targets
- Fixed-scope recommendation
- Implementation plan
We define success before building anything.
Week 2: Build against your real workflow
We connect to the systems, documents, assets, exports, campaign data, project boards, or approval rules needed for the selected workflow.
We build around your actual process, not a generic media template.
Week 3: Test, tune, and review
We run real historical examples through the workflow in staging. This can include prior campaign reports, past proposals, production tickets, rights questions, or approved creative examples.
You see:
- Accuracy results
- Exceptions
- Failure cases
- Confidence thresholds
- Review queue behavior
- Estimated time savings
Nothing goes live until the workflow is validated.
Week 4: Deploy, monitor, and support
We deploy the workflow, train the relevant users, monitor initial results, and support the first production or reporting cycle.
You get:
- Production workflow
- Dashboard or review queue
- Documentation
- Admin handoff
- 30 days of support
- Recommendations for the next workflow
Most builds are designed to pay back in 6 to 8 weeks of live use, depending on volume, labor cost, workflow scope, and how much producer, seller, or operator time is recovered.
Built for unreleased content, rights, and client-sensitive work
Media automation has to respect access, approvals, rights, and confidentiality.
Our systems are designed around:
- Least-privilege access
- Encrypted data in transit and at rest
- Role-based access for projects, clients, shows, and campaigns
- Audit logs for AI-assisted decisions
- Source-grounded answers for rights and usage questions
- Human review thresholds for external-facing outputs
- Client-owned cloud deployment when required
- Clear separation of unreleased assets, talent data, client files, and financial data
For teams with NDA, IP, talent, advertiser, SOC 2, PCI, union payroll, or platform compliance concerns, we design the implementation around your requirements from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time or money can this save?
It depends on volume, but the fastest wins are usually reporting, rights lookup, production coordination, and proposal prep. A small media team may recover 8 to 15 hours per week from reporting and status work alone. Sales proposal workflows can reduce first-draft prep from 2 to 4 hours to 15 to 30 minutes. For teams with overloaded producers or ad ops staff, that often means $2,500 to $10,000 per month in recovered time, avoided rework, or faster delivery.
Will this replace Frame.io, Airtable, ShotGrid, WideOrbit, or our creative tools?
No. The goal is to improve the workflow around your current stack, not force a migration. Your assets stay in your asset and creative systems. Your campaigns stay in your ad ops systems. The automation layer reads, routes, summarizes, drafts, and writes back only where appropriate and approved.
Can this work with our rights and clearance documents?
Yes. We can build a source-grounded retrieval system over approved contracts, release forms, rights grids, usage rules, SOWs, brand guidelines, and production notes. Answers include citations so your team can verify the source before acting.
Can we keep humans in the approval loop?
Yes. For anything external-facing, rights-sensitive, client-sensitive, or revenue-impacting, the system can draft, classify, summarize, and recommend while a producer, seller, manager, or legal reviewer makes the final call.
Can this handle different shows, clients, brands, or campaigns?
Yes. Workflows can be separated by client, show, brand, campaign, territory, team, or role. A manager can also get a unified view across workstreams while keeping access controlled.
Is our unreleased content used to train public models?
No. We design deployments around your security requirements. Depending on the workflow, that can include private cloud deployment, restricted access, encryption, audit logs, vendor controls, and clear rules around what data is sent to which services.
What is the first step?
Start with a workflow fit assessment. We identify the workflow with the highest ROI potential, estimate the time or revenue impact, and recommend a focused pilot. You will know what should be built, why it matters, what it should cost, and how success will be measured before committing to a full implementation.
