Key success factors, which
make us different

Lifted’s offering allowed the company to scale with precision and without internal strain.

Production Automation

Automated file transfers, metadata capture, and tagging reduced manual work and increased consistency.

24/7 Progress

Global coverage enabled continuous production across multiple time zones.

Centralized Oversight

All tasks were tracked and coordinated under a unified project structure, improving delivery confidence.

The outcome

From Workflow Breakdown to Production Engine: This engagement transformed the client’s approach to multilingual audio delivery. What once required piecing together contractors across disconnected systems is now a streamlined, scalable model driven by Lifted’s outsourcing/SOW operational layer and curated talent base. Over a 90-day production cycle, the team hit every milestone, resolved technical handoffs, and built infrastructure for future audio rollouts. This partnership reinforced that scaling creative production isn’t just about hiring fast; it’s about aligning the right systems and global contributors to deliver quality at speed.
