About

Hi, I’m Neil Scott Goodwin, a Canadian video production leader blending creative direction with operational excellence. I run hybrid teams of full-time and freelance creatives to produce national content for the CFL and brand partners, balancing visual storytelling with scalable production workflows.

I’ve built strategy across social, digital, broadcast and in-stadium platforms, rebuilt YouTube growth driving views from 3.9M to 7.9M annually, and expanded output while keeping budgets in check. I thrive collaborating with stakeholders to turn ambitious ideas into measurable results and love mentoring teams to reach their creative potential.
