Behind every strong creative outcome is a budget and vendor structure that supports it. At TIAGI, we see financial planning and vendor management as creative enablers. The right choices early on open up possibilities, protect the idea and give the team the space to work confidently.
Our role is not simply to track numbers but to build a production framework that feels realistic, transparent and in line with the creative direction.
How We Approach Budgeting
We begin by understanding the ambition of the project, the internal expectations and the level of flexibility within the spend. From there, we shape a budget that:
- Reflects the creative priorities
- Identifies where investment will have the highest impact
- Highlights any areas to refine or redirect
- Supports the production team without unnecessary layers
Budgets at TIAGI are live working documents. We refine them collaboratively, ensuring the brand, creative team and production structure are aligned from the outset.
Vendor Relationships That Strengthen the Work
TIAGI’s vendor network has been built through years of working across fashion, beauty and lifestyle. We collaborate with:
- Studios and equipment houses
- Lighting and digital teams
- Stylists and glam departments
- Set builders and technicians
- Transport and logistics partners
These relationships allow us to negotiate efficiently, benchmark costs accurately and secure reliable teams who understand the standards of our industry.
Our approach is always quality first, value conscious and creatively sensitive. The vendors we bring in are chosen not only for cost fit but for their compatibility with the tone and scale of the project.
Managing Contracts, Compliance and Risk
Once vendors are selected, TIAGI takes care of:
- Contracts and rate agreements
- Usage and deliverables
- Insurance requirements
- Payment structures
- Compliance and documentation
This protects the project and removes the burden from internal teams who may not have the systems to manage multiple vendors simultaneously.
It also ensures suppliers are clear on expectations, timelines and protocol, which reduces friction during the production phase.
Real Time Budget Tracking and Adjustment
Throughout the project, we keep budgets active and responsive. This includes:
- Real time spend tracking
- Early identification of overspend risks
- Reallocation of funds where helpful
- Clear updates to the brand team
- Adjusting to creative shifts when they happen
Projects evolve quickly, our team is experienced in adapting budgets without disrupting the creative momentum.

- Strong relationships with trusted vendors
- The ability to advocate for both creative ambition and financial clarity
