A six-figure shoot, an org chart in five tools.
Engineering doesn't lock the design until week 12. Marketing's already booked the photographer. Retail wants their co-op assets six weeks before launch. PR needs press packs. Ops wants packaging photography. The shoot ramps with eight stakeholders working off three different briefs.
- Shoots get planned before engineering locks the unit
- Retail partners ask for co-op packs that don't exist yet
- Asset versions multiply across launch, retail, and packaging
