About me
My name is Alex, a Salford based Video Producer with years of experience at the highest level and a First Class degree in Television Production BSc(Hons).
I have ran businesses, created TV content globally and I have also produced videos for the biggest brands in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China and Thailand. My track record consists of names such as the BBC, TVNZ, Dell, Bupa, HSBC, Citibank, Westpac, Vodafone, Woolworths and many more.
I have worked in the following fields for TV and online: corporate, advertising, music, comedy, drama and technology. Although I have a portfolio of serious clients, I want to transition to work in a sector that I love. I love travelling and experiencing life - living in the moment!
I'm a natural co-ordinator, with experience producing and adhering to budgets, schedules, risk assessments, scripts, contracts, mudmaps, etc. I'm very good at networking as demonstrated by my successes in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I work well with everyone including Executives, crew, talent and their agents.
I am used to working under pressure in fast paced environments across multiple genres. I'm able to multi-task effectively and I'm not scared to take on responsibilities. A youthful individual, I'm always keeping up with the current trends and I can offer ideas for growth, including technologies on productions.
With a track record of working in marketing environments, I have great interpersonal and negotiation skills. My reading comprehension is fantastic and I'm able to read a brief and contribute creative ideas. I have proven experience managing and successfully delivering multiple simultaneous projects.
I'm easy to work and get on with. I have a friendliness that is typical of Manchester chaps, whilst also having developed a laid-back attitude from my time in Australia/NZ, which helps me to handle projects and not crack under pressure or get stressed.
