About me

As a producer/director I have been working in the industry for over ten years now and have created short films, music videos, branded and unbranded content and some terrible attempts at nonchalant humour in job applications. I am currently working as a Senior Producer/Director for a corporate and commercials agency in Shoreditch Vismedia.Agency

As one of the three in house PD's for this creative agency, I report to the Head of Production and the Managing Director and in my capacity as a producer/director I provide a complete service for our clients delivering high quality content on budget and on time.

I work directly with clients (including Astrazeneca, DS Smith, Glencore, HSBC, Mastercard and Unilever) or through PR agencies (including Fleet Street PR, Headland and Teneo Blue Rubicon), to write and pitch creative concepts and proposals; and then lead the entire process from initial brief to final delivery.

Through working with clients and PR agencies there is always a focus on client management and development to further grow projects and cultivate new projects. Working with Glencore across 2017 what started as a project for 7 films at £70,000 became a project with over 100 original deliverables and a spend of over £200,000.

Highlights from my time working at VisMediaency include winning Digital Impact Award's Digital Campaign of the Year Award (and also Gold in the award for the Best Use of Digital from the Engineering and Manufacturing Sector) for my Cory Riverside Energy immersive 360 tour project (alongside being nominated for a BIMA award) and producing a slate of films for Glencore's HSEC Safety campaign across 4 continents and 7 countries (Canada, Kazakhstan, S. Africa, Switzerland and Zambia). These hero films adopted an "ob-doc" approach and followed a Glencore worker from each region for a number of days at home and in the mine, as they demonstrated safe work and safe living.

In the past I have produced and directed broadcast music videos for label Armada Records, directed short films that were commissioned by the UK Film Council and also produced social media content for Ball Street and The Redmen TV. I have been developed by The UK Film Council, The Script Factory and the National Film and TV School and trained by Mike Figgis, Brian Percival and Dario Argento.
