March, 2025.- In an era of rapid transformation in the advertising industry, two companies are setting new standards in production and post-production. The Board of Directors and its sister company, Editorial Board, were founded with a clear mission: to streamline creative workflows, enhance collaboration, and provide high-quality storytelling solutions. Executive Producers Brandon Tapp and Kendall Kendall share insights into the philosophy, culture, and vision that drive their companies forward.
A Vision for the Future of Advertising
The inspiration behind The Board of Directors and Editorial Board was rooted in the need for a more agile, efficient, and accessible approach to advertising production. “We set out to create a model that’s more relevant for today’s ever-changing advertising industry,” says Brandon Tapp. “Our goal has always been to help make our clients successful, and we wanted to ensure this new model makes that even smoother for them – more accessible, more understandable, and more efficient.”
The companies’ names reflect their core values—collaboration and leadership. “With the right mix of talent and technology, we’ve built a model that’s flexible, adaptable, and ready to work across all platforms,” adds Kendall Kendall. “Our names reflect what we believe in – the idea that everyone brings something valuable to the table.”
As for the future, their approach is centered on continuous growth. “Our mission is simple – helping our clients succeed. Crafting companies that are underpinned by a growth mindset allows us to refine our approach for each project to meet the industry’s evolving needs,” says Kendall.
The Intersection of Creativity and Industry Experience
The Board of Directors and Editorial Board have fused the energy of a startup with deep industry expertise, creating a unique company culture. “We have taken the wisdom of our successes and mistakes and used those lessons to tackle today’s challenges,” says Brandon. “This has shaped a culture of like-minded talent who are always pushing for deeper conversations to deliver better and more creative solutions.”
At the heart of this culture is curiosity and a passion for innovation. “We’re creating a culture built on curiosity and passion for growth–both for our agency partners and for our team,” Brandon continues. “That means truly listening to our team of talent, giving them the space to bring fresh ideas to the table, including finding solutions that were once considered off-limits or taboo.”
When it comes to hiring, Kendall emphasizes the importance of ambition and adaptability. “We look for individuals with the stamina to withstand the quick turns of the industry and the ability to be inclusive and effective within a team.”
Delivering Seamless Production and Post-Production
A smooth workflow is key to maintaining high-quality storytelling. “We’ve created a seamless communication flow between our production teams, where a ‘board’ of producers helps shape and guide each project based on its unique needs,” says Kendall.
Their hands-on approach is both simple and elegant. “It looks like a think tank of creatives and producers working together to best solve the demands of any given project–big or small,” explains Brandon.
In today’s landscape, where agencies are expected to produce more content without increased budgets, The Board of Directors and Editorial Board step in to offer solutions. “We are seeing agencies being tasked with doing more work without bigger budgets, so we have taken those challenges on as our own,” Brandon notes. “Whether that means streamlining a traditional approach or proposing a more non-traditional approach, we work alongside our agency partners to solve these challenges together.”
The Power of Partnerships and the Future of Production
A strong emphasis on partnerships is shaping the future of advertising production. “Agencies work with us in a more inclusive manner, even if we are only tasked with a particular piece of a larger project,” says Brandon. “We are often part of bigger conversations that give us the ability to shape our role more effectively while keeping our creative edge sharp.”
The synergy between The Board of Directors and Editorial Board is one of their greatest strengths. “Our creative process is fully integrated. Our editors are involved on set, and our directors stay engaged throughout post-production. Collaboration is the heart of our workflow–every step of the way,” Kendall highlights.
Looking ahead, both executives are excited about what’s to come. “What excites us the most is that we are built for the future,” says Kendall. “This allows us the security to keep honing our craft, doing what we love, and growing alongside the people we consider family, for years to come.”
With a forward-thinking approach and a dedication to innovation, The Board of Directors and Editorial Board are not just adapting to the evolving industry landscape—they are helping to define it.
