Most new media is destined to fail. Whether it s a song, film, website, book, video game, or advertisement, it s extremely difficult to create works that resonate with audiences. Lean Media can give creators and media companies an edge. The framework has worked for some of the biggest media brands and most well-known artists, as well as smaller teams and media ventures. It draws on the same "lean" approaches adopted by manufacturing and tech startups, but is optimized for the unique needs and methods used in the media industry. In LEAN MEDIA, author Ian Lamont shows how the framework can streamline processes, lower costs, reduce the risk of failure, and ultimately create media that matters. Packed with examples as diverse as The Simpsons, Led Zeppelin, Minecraft, and more, LEAN MEDIA outlines the framework for producing high-quality media on time and on budget. If you create media, the Lean Media framework provides the tools and know-how to develop media that clicks with audiences. Whether you work on a large team or are a solo creator, the framework can help you iteratively develop great media, informed by audience input and with a minimum of bureaucratic overhead. If you run a media business, Lean Media can help you optimize teams, streamline decision-making, and increase audience engagement. Lean Media can also inform creative and business leaders about how to pivot a media project, or when to abandon projects that simply aren t working out. All kinds of media professionals can leverage the framework, including: <ul>
<li>Filmmakers</li> <li>Publishers</li> <li>Broadcasters</li> <li>Graphic designers</li> <li>Website operators</li> <li>Recording artists</li> <li>Video game designers</li> <li>Copywriters</li> <li>Creative directors</li> <li>Performance artists</li> </ul> Table of Contents Introduction The Lean Media opportunity Chapter 1: Lean thinking in manufacturing and tech startups Standard criteria for success and failure Eric Ries and the Lean Startup The MVP Product/market fit vs. product/solution fit A lean approach to media?
