Old World vs. New World
It is well-known that for architectural photography and film marketing budgets, well executed split-cost projects are guaranteed to save you money. This has always been true. Despite this, in the old world, split-cost projects were done passively, as in, only a few companies participated in the split cost project and not all of the companies involved in a construction project were approached and made aware that the split cost architectural photography project was happening and its benefits. Additionally, when split cost architectural photography project got larger and more complex with many parties, the compounding difficulties of executing ever larger and complex split-cost projects made some of them not worth the time to execute or nearly impossible for architecture and construction marketing departments to mange and invoice correctly for them to realize the full cost-saving advantages.
While you may have passively taken part in a handful of split-cost projects before, you should be doing and getting the benefit of split-cost projects for every single project—at scale and without doing any of the work yourself.
With changes in the marketing environment, architectural photographers and the construction industry seem to be catching onto the benefits of split-cost projects. This shift has propelled the need to evolve the split-cost process from manual and complex to simplified and automated.
In the new world, architectural photographers realize the upside of actively pursuing split-cost contracts for every project without the painstaking effort or expenses of the old world.
