I have spent 20 years freelancing in Broadcast Television production and Branded Media Content, working around the world to entertain millions and provide reach for large brands into media spaces. These two fields regularly converge, and I have linked up with major brands and corporations to bring their name to Britain’s TV screens. With a skill set that spans both fields, I can bring creativity, experience and a strong background in building projects from inception to execution. I am commonly out in the field, working directly with people and clients, but can also show extensive experience in producing and creating workable, well planned schedules and managing projects in fast turnaround environments. My working life in both TV and corporate work has always required strong people skills, from the man in the street to working with senior management or celebrities on camera; and having trained and worked as a journalist prior to this, I am always focused on messaging, audience and impact.
