The ABG in-house studio
Saving +€1 million a year
for Avis Budget Group
In 2020 we created the ABG content studio, a dedicated team that deliver content production, photography, design, art working, performance marketing and measurement. A dedicated fast-acting team, they interact directly with Avis, working on new briefs and delivering across multiple markets. And are integrated with the wider agency on broader advertising campaigns and bigger activations. They deliver content creation and asset production for web, social, CRM, display, PPC, print, internal comms and in-station for all International markets, except US.
Not only were they recruited and contracted by Collective, they are part of our agency culture and gain from our continuous professional development and training opportunities to keep their motivation high, and our retention strong.
The team is at the forefront of using AI tools to automate the production of content and multi-language variants, speeding up production. And because the studio is employed by Collective but funded by a ‘Salary plus’ model (salary + management fee), this results in big savings compared to traditional agency rates.
