We’re happy to tell that today Acne, B-Reel, North Kingdom, Perfect Fools and Unit9 together took another step towards making life easier for digital producers on agencies and production companies. How? By adding a boiler plate master service agreement to stndrd.org, the open source approach to digital creative production.
In the spirit of Swedish collectiveness we have used united experiences and best practices to put together a basic MSA – Master Service Agreement – to be used as is, or paragraph by paragraph to add to a conflicting contract. Or to be used as a boiler plate to add to.
Basic thought is, as for stndrd.org in general, to make processes between vendors and clients in the digital world easier by building de facto standards in an open source environment.
The 6 page contract and easy-reader notes are easily accessible at http://www.stndrd.org.





Brilliant, standardisation helps everyone – agencies and clients alike. Stndrd looks to build better relationships based on firm foundations. From what I can see, this is a great starting block for all of us to ensure we get the basics right first, before really freeing us up to focus on delivering great creative work!
Well done Sweden.
Yeahhhh, thanks, Es increíble el sentido de colaboración que tienen las agencias digitales en Suecia, quizá algún día logremos algo parecido de este lado, mientras soy un fiel seguidor y saludos desde México City, gracias
