The merchandise manager position was brand new. They had landed their biggest client, The North Face, and needed someone to manage all the merchandise arriving at the studio. I created all procedures and processes for keeping track of 1,500+ merchandise items, coordinated their progress through all departments, verified the completion of all requested angles, and created daily racks of products for each stylist and photographer.
As an Assistant Producer, I continued managing the merchandise as well as castings, being the on-set producer, co-managing post-production discrepancy corrections, and coordinating with the client to meet their needs.
