Follow on Google News | Agency Reps Quaranteen Together In Order To Keep Working After Having To Cancel ShowBy: Black Ram Media Group Inc According to cofounder and show producer Maria Gagliardi, "Some of the production crew are travelling in low risk countries and are expected to return in the coming days. We felt that given recommendations to isolate for two weeks, it was best to postpone filming for the health and safety of the rest of our cast and crew, even though these individuals are travelling in low risk countries. Now is not the time to take unnecessary risks." Despite postponing filming of that particular show, given the increased demand of emergency brand representation, some of the team have decided to quaranteen themselves together in an effort to remain available and productive during what is proving to be a very busy time for the agency. Gagliardi said that strategists and web designers are easily able to work from home and have set up working groups with their clients over online messenger apps. Production crew however need to be in studio, so they've decided to hunker down together so as not to bring any risk to family members at home. They will make their way directly to the agency's Toronto studio from the airport to avoid exposing their individual households or the public upon their return. "When we postponed Dr Paul's show we realized all production would grind to a halt if we didn't do something drastic. With a feature and documentary in preproduction plus emergency media content creation requests from our web and strategy division clients, I decided we had to do something. The team is making the best of it, and I have the studio well stocked. I bet we'll get a lot done! Spirits are high and we're having fun with it. We're calling it studio-glamping." Cofounder and strategist Daniela Siggia said that working from her home in Welland is already the norm for her so she doesn't notice a difference but is relieved and grateful production will be available for her clients, many of whom need extra support as Covid 19 impacts their operations. Thanks to her business partner's crazy plan, she won't have to delay any deliverables. "Social distancing works at a time like this, and we have to do our collective part. I think we are an example of how businesses can think outside the box to keep services going while protecting the public. " https://www.BlackRamMedia.com End
