Understanding the In-House Landscape at Brands in 2026.

Posted in News, tagged with training course, on February 24, 2026

The landscape has shifted. With 82% of brands now operating in-house, your primary client is no longer just the agency – it’s the brand’s own creative team.

To win in 2026, independent production companies must master how to collaborate with in-house leads who now handle over 60% of their own output. J&R Collevtive are hosting a 90-minute masterclass to show you exactly how to fill their gaps and execute their vision at scale.

What we’ll cover:

  • The “Gap” Strategy: Identifying how production works in house and where they need external production support.
  • Operational Fit: Navigating brand-side budgets, timelines and processes.
  • Creative Drivers: Understanding what visionary in-house leaders actually want from their production partners.
  • Who’s who; Brand side in house roles & who’s most likely to commission you
  • Overcoming Barriers: Practical solutions to the common hurdles of direct-to-brand work.
