Building the Network Map The network map starts with researching 20 admired shows to identify participants who are above the line or are hiring managers for the work you’re interested in. These could be writers, directors, actors, and producers. Focus on the shows and learn who the producers and showrunners are, as well as the executives connected to those projects. This research helps you understand who the key players are in your vertical and how they are connected. Referral Business Hollywood is a referral business. Breaking in is challenging because it requires referrals, but once you become a referral, you’ll get work repeatedly. Use this to your advantage by thoroughly researching and connecting the dots. This will enable you to leverage the referral system to build your career. Detailing the Network Map Once you’ve compiled a list of key individuals from your admired shows, include any available details about their company structure and contact information. Understanding the structure of a producer’s company and the entry-level or leveling-up jobs available is crucial for framing your call and knowing how you might fit into their world. Collect information such as LinkedIn profiles, Facebook pages, Instagram handles, Twitter accounts, emails, and any other social media or professional connections. Organizing and Storing Data Store all the collected data in an organized manner so it’s easy to access and use in the future. The information you find will help you connect with these individuals and understand their professional networks. Document where you found the information, whether on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, alumni networks, or other sources. Conducting the Research Use resources like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and various databases to lift titles, identify past shows, and find school or alumni networks. Look for affiliations, charities, and organizations they might be connected to. Identify who works for these people, such as assistants, receptionists, development executives, and creative executives. This will help you understand the company’s structure and who the gatekeepers are. Tools for Executive Research Trades: Use industry trades like Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter to gather names and connect the dots. Google: Conduct simple Google searches to find information about individuals. LinkedIn: Use LinkedIn to find professional connections and understand their networks. Data Services: Consider using data services like ZoomInfo, Clearbit, RocketReach, and others. While some are expensive, there are free alternatives that can provide valuable information. Collecting and Using Data When collecting data, don’t get discouraged if you find little information online. Note what you can find quickly and move on. The goal is to gather enough information to make connections without getting bogged down. If you’re comfortable, you can even use tools to find email addresses and send cold emails, being mindful of making a genuine connection. Implementing Your Map Week three of your plan involves implementing your map. This means mapping out the industry, identifying who you want to connect with, and figuring out how to make those connections. Having detailed information about your targets will make this process faster and more efficient. Next Steps After gathering executive research, start whittling down who you will connect with. Ensure you have complete and organized data about each individual. This preparation will streamline your efforts in making meaningful connections that can advance your career.
