My career in the media industry is slightly non-conventional.
I started work in the middle east where you had to be able to do every role imaginable and in recent years i have been making adverts and branded content at internal production teams for global creative agencies.
It’s been a rollercoaster of nurturing highly efficient teams, raising the standards and quality of in-house production and implementing resource / finance workflows for detailed reporting.
In short - i have been building and producing teams that can focus on creating top quality content.

Executive ProducerCylndr
London, United KingdomFull Time
CYLNDR is the creative production company and full-service studio that sits at the heart of Cheil and BMB agencies. My role is to manage the production team and be responsible for all of its output.
I work closely with the agencies when the clients provide their initial briefs and advise on specific production requirements, budgets and timescales. As the project begins to take more shape I appoint the correct production resource to manage the project from start to finish and work with them to make sure that all the client and agency requirements are met.
Alongside this my responsibilities are to manage the finances and tracking of costs for each individual project. With various tracking tools I can manage this information across all projects and generate financial reports for the Head of Production and management meetings.
At CYLNDR I have worked on projects ranging from yearly social campaigns to campaign launches for new products. The teams I build around each project are based on trusted relationships and specialities that help us work across many different production fields and deliverables - including the ever changing COVID and IR35 regulations!
These are some of the clients I have managed campaigns for: Samsung, Nike, Lego, Farrow & Ball, PepsiCo, Nivea, Innocent, Patak’s, LinkedIn and many more.
