also, ive noticed at the firms ive worked at producers also go to a lot of meetings, read a lot of scripts and write summeries for the designers.. they double check work before it goes out the door to the client or gets posted... do research and all that kinda good stuff. when projects are big producers are actually really usefull.
the main personality difference between producers and designers i see is they can actually deal with people and situations much better than ive even seen ADs and CDs do. they are the voice of reason to the client. this life skill alone is very valuable to a team, thus they get paid pretty well. without them projects can go to shit and clients will hate you.
many of you are freelancers and learned to produce projects and sort of be an account manager as well. but you know even working for yourself.. the bigger the the projects get the more you want to work with someone who can take some of that load off you and do it well.
i'm definately looking for a good producer to hire on a project by project basis so i can focus on getting the work done and not answering a 100 requests i get in my email and by phone. and, god it would be nice for someone to keep my shit in order. i think i didnt realize how awesome (good) producers were until i had to start doing it myself.
