I work with many of the world's leading brands, including Adidas, Barclays, BBC, BMW, ITV,
Land Rover, MARS inc and The University of Warwick.  


 

I can make high quality video for you, or train you how to make high quality, video yourself.

introduction

Global Delivery 

I can either put together the right team of broadcast professionals to create high quality video to tell your story or I can deliver iDEC® smartphone video training to your team so they can produce all the video you are ever going to need.

The experience I have gained in working with many top brands in the world has taught me that whatever type of comms' I am delivering, there is one thing that guarantees a successful outcome... that is a great story.

 

​In both the broadcast and corporate sectors my philosophy has always been the same, people engage with people, so find the human angle in the story and use that as the glue to bond the story together.    

The 'king of content' has been and always will be the story.  I will help you to develop and refine your story and then find the best way to tell that story in  to ensure you will achieve maximum impact.

Appendix

Please view the videos below, which contain examples of some of the styles of work I have generated I my 30+ years of working as a writer, producer, director in broadcast and branded video production.

'Life in the Fast lane' ESPN Television 10 episode Series.  My crew and myself were embed with one of the world's top fuel drag racing teams for three months.  

Training video. The use of humour in training videos is a valuable asset.  Never work with animals..., I'll let you be the judge.

Performance led content.  I have directed 80+ television commercials and bumper breaks. Here is a selection of my work featuring actors, the public and a cat.

Brand Video.  I developed, produced and directed this video which was used as a Keynote introduction for HRH

The Princes Anne.  

Conference Opener.  Working with the events director I wrote, produced and directed this video featuring a 12 year
old actress.

'I Want...' On-line promotional video.  I developed the concept, then wrote and directed this short video.  The brief was how do we make a difference.

Testimonial.  If you talk to people involved with a product or service at the sharp end, the narrative is instantly relevant and engaging.  

Broadcast series episode.  This is the first half of the first episode of 'The Front Line'. Made one year prior to the Covid Pandemic, which was some what ironic.
