Hi, I’m Joana Soares, a creative producer with 10 years of experience delivering films and video content for corporate, charity, and global health organizations. I lead end-to-end productions for clients ranging from global brands to NGOs, managing budgets, timelines, crews, scripts, and post-production workflows. I’m trilingual in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I excel at translating briefs into clear, engaging visuals, collaborating with international production teams, and delivering high-quality outcomes across multiple continents. I’m adept at developing proposals, budgets, and treatments, directing crews, and ensuring production standards are met while delivering content focused on advocacy, fundraising, stakeholder engagement, and campaigns. I thrive in fast-paced, creative environments and enjoy mentoring teams to achieve outstanding results.
