Welcome to Copy That!

Spoiler alert! Stories from deep inside production life aren’t all rainbows and unicorns.

Some are so crazy, they may not even be able to be told. Inside of that extreme are some really interesting and perhaps insightful true stories from production feats over the years that we’ve encountered. Many of these stories have never been told before.

Enter “Copy That” — a collection of musings from being on the front lines of experiential and event production.

Here’s what you can expect to find on here:

• BTS (behind-the-scenes) stories from specific production feats

• Commentary on timely and relevant marketing activations

• Creative inspirations

• Additional color on recent projects

What’s with the name “Copy That?” It’s something you say when on walkies to affirm that something has been heard, understood, and is being acted upon. Plus with the connection to the radio call sign “pan-pan” that’s the impetus for our branding, it just felt right.

Our goal here is to not waste your time. None of this (unless explicitly disclosed) is AI-generated. It’s been lived, settled, and is now retold from Eric’s (my) perspective. Others might have differing viewpoints. All good. Reach out to eric [at] panpanproduction.com at any time with feedback.

You’ll find versions of these posts over on our LinkedIn page. A great way to keep up is to get them delivered right to your inbox via our newsletter called The Manifest. Given that RSS feeds are seemingly dead, while it might feel so Y2K, getting these via email is super easy. And you can always unsubscribe if you want! Just fill out this form and you’re all set.
