Hi there! I’m John Sartain, a Multimedia Communications Officer with a deep passion for storytelling through video, photography and digital content. During my time with NHS 24 I led media and communications efforts at a pivotal moment for health service delivery, producing original social content and helping manage NHS channels. I’m now excited to return to sport, bringing years of production experience from major events to clubs and teams I love. In previous roles I’ve delivered engaging video, photography and graphic content for clubs, sponsors and partners at the Commonwealth Games, Champions League, Homeless World Cup and the Six Nations. I’ve worked across the full spectrum of content production—from concept through to filming and editing—and pride myself on creative storytelling, collaborative teamwork and delivering results under tight deadlines. My core skills include videography, photography, editing, and graphic design, with hands-on experience in Creative Cloud, Final Cut Pro X, and a range of professional cameras.
