Professional Practice: Keeping in touch with our Commissioner

Keeping in touch with a commissioner is something that I have learnt is a very important part of the whole commissioning process. In a commission, you form a relationship based on trust with your commissioner. They trust us to deliver a good quality piece of film to them based on the specifications we were given at the start of the project, and we trust them to do everything in their power to make our job easier, and deliver any changes to their ideas to us.
As such, I have made sure to have multiple ways to contact my commissioner, Nick Ward. These include a telephone number, two email addresses and I also have him added on an instant messaging application called Whatsapp.
Based on this, I should always be able to contact my commissioner with any news or suggestions for this project.

It has also come to my attention that Nick Ward is often abroad on business, or unavailable. In this case he has appointed somebody that we will be able to liaise with in his absence. This contact is called Gill, and she will be working closely with us while Nick is away, and will act as his replacement when he cannot be around.
I believe this can only benefit us, as we will always have someone handy that can relay information to Nick, and since Gill is also a high ranking member of The Friday People charity, she will be more than able to make executive decisions if need be.
