DUAL-STUDIO ADVANTAGE

How does TDS's timezone model benefit Chicago businesses?

TDS operates from Sydney (AEST) and Saigon (ICT, UTC+7). Chicago runs on CST (UTC-6) in winter and CDT (UTC-5) in summer. The 12–13 hour gap between Chicago and Saigon means production runs through your night.

Chicago
CST/CDT
UTC-6 / UTC-5
Saigon
ICT
UTC+7

A brief submitted at 5pm in Chicago (CST) reaches Saigon at 6am the following morning. The production team starts their day, works through their business hours, and returns completed work to you by the time Chicago wakes up. It's a natural 24-hour creative cycle — without the cost of running a 24-hour operation.
