Contractor Onboarding.

File Naming & Metadata

 

  • This memo is a mandatory practice that all contractors are subject to while working under our company or affiliate companies.

    All deliverables are checked by our finance team before contractor payments are sent. All assets and requested working files are expected to sent to us within 24 hours of your job closing. Please speak to your creative director or account liaison if you have any questions or concerns about this.

  • Please follow this exact structure:

    © DELIVERED BY DOGMA | CLIENT NAME | ASSET TYPE | STATUS

    ———————————————————

    STATUS = WORKING FILE OR MASTER. ONLY NAME A MASTER A MASTER WHEN ITS APPROVED.

  • Send WELL COMPOSED screenshots, or good quality JPEGS while in the approval process. Your liaison will tell you when its time to “runs the masters”

  • At this point, the work has been approved. But you'll need to send a version of the asset for "Suitable for Posting or Suitable for Use" This should be of the highest quality possible. You will need to determine whether thaT is a jpeg, png, .mov, or TIFF.
