Who we Are
Boardroom Consulting and Marketing Expertise
Individual or as a team, Waking Life and Panic on the Street of Los Angeles provide executive consulting services and internal/external marketing material produced specifically for creative industries and the entertainment marketplace.
Although uniform business practices are used throughout all industries, the creative marketplace definitely marches, dances, and performs to a different beat. Our professional executives and production teams understand those differences. We’ll position your audio company, film studio, music label, or art school for success in the present as well as the long term.
Reawaken your Boardroom
Change Is Inevitable – We’ll Help You Control It
Waking Life was conceived to help film production companies, art schools, or any creative company looking to build, revamp, or reorganize their executive roster and processes. We provide executive-level mentoring, recruitment, and consulting specifically for the entertainment sector.
CEOs for production companies, COOs for recording labels, CMOs for broadcasting corporations. Waking Life has experienced executives to lead your organization through troubled waters – or to help you navigate open seas for the first time. We offer short- and long-term consulting and Executive team staffing personalized for each client and their needs.
Mentor Services
Our mentors will help groom existing high-level managerial staff for those top spots. In addition to replacing a member of the board for the short term, Waking Life will help prepare the next CEO, COO, or CMO of your company for the long-haul.
Executive Consulting
Time to look beyond your walls for your next executive? Waking Life consultants take the time to understand your place in the world of entertainment. From teaching the next generation of award-winning directors to running international music labels, we’ll show you how to find the creative executives perfectly suited for your entertainment company.
Executive Recruiting
Have a sudden opening on the board? Waking Life will act as an interim executive while finding the perfect long-term solution. In some cases, our mentors ARE the long-term solution. When you work with us, no solution is ever considered off-limits.
Keep Calm – And Look Professional Doing It
You Look After Your Clients – Who Looks After You?
There’s no way around it: Clients are King when you run a film production agency or a recording studio. But if you don’t take care of yourself, how many clients can you realistically expect to have? Projecting a professional appearance – both internally and externally – will go a long way to putting the best foot forward.
So much has changed in the world of entertainment marketing. Social media videos, instructional videos for your crews, front-facing videos on your website and more will help you attract the best talent – on both sides of the recording studio glass, film production camera, and broadcast booth.
We’ll help bring your ideas to the mainstream
Waking Life Mentor Services
You have a dream, the vision, that certain something to make a big splash in the entertainment industry. Whether it’s a revolutionary way to make movies or developing audio tech usually reserved for alien beings on distant planets. Your genius is on the ground, we’ll make sure it’s matched by those in the boardroom.
Our Executive mentors are chosen for their real-world experience throughout the entertainment industry. They know how to build teams from within and where to find the talent you need outside your walls. Financial officers to keep an eye on the economic health of your corporation, marketing officers to best put your brilliance on display, operating officers to oversee production, and CEOs to bring all of your departments together – and keep them on task.
Production
Production Services from the Pros
Panic On The Streets of Los Angeles production crews produce anything related to internal videos, documentaries, short-films, or introductory tutorial videos. We’ll also create and roll out front-facing deliverables for social media, your website, and other marketing opportunities.
Our background is rooted in the entertainment industry. Don’t have the time, the resources, the personnel to create your own marketing? We’ll bring in an entire production team, from graphic artists to storyboarders to film crews and directors. Tell us what you want and we’ll take it from there.
Corporate shake ups and boardroom drama make for thrilling television or movies. But when it’s your corporation or your executive conference room, the fewer thrills the better. We understand turmoil, uncertainty, and unfamiliarity can pop up at any moment – especially in the world of arts and entertainment.
Waking Life and Panic On The Streets of Los Angeles is here to calm your waters and plot the perfect course to stability. Our mentors, consultants, and recruiters built their portfolios from within the entertainment industry. Why not use their experience to help build your own?
