About me
Ben has been filming, producing and directing for over six years focusing his work around youth orientated content. In this time he founded Petty Thieves, an online commercial film production agency. The focus of the business was to meet the needs of the modern digital age, by producing high quality films for the online world and since its inception, has worked with well-known brands including Red Bull, MTV, Bacardi, The Iconic, Sony Music, Oakley and Channel V.
One of the main clients for Petty Thieves was Contiki and within a year, the global travel company headhunted Ben to head up their Video Production Division in the global marketing team. Now based in London, Ben is responsible for overseeing and creating commercial content for Contiki on a global level.
Ben’s responsibilities at Contiki are to work with the global brand and marketing teams, think strategically and develop creative to solve problems, work to a budget, cast talent, direct, film and edit the final video for delivery.
