DIGITAL PRODUCER
DIGITAL PRODUCER
I lead end-to-end digital production from brief to publishing, aligning stakeholders, de-risking delivery, and shipping content that performs.
What I deliver
Own scope, timelines, milestones, and dependencies across production + post
Align stakeholders, run check-ins, manage approvals, and keep feedback actionable
Resource teams (in-house + freelance), commission suppliers, and control quality
Anticipate risk early and keep delivery predictable under tight deadlines
Build repeatable workflows, templates and QA processes to scale output
Discovery & Briefing
Discovery & Briefing
Every project begins with alignment: the objective, the audience, the platform, and the definition of success. I set KPIs that match the brief. Delivery KPIs (output volume, deadlines, cost per asset, reusability) and performance KPIs (reach, views, retention, engagement, follower/subscriber growth).
I then translate that into a plan of delivery: clear scope, deliverables and versioning (formats/aspect ratios), a review structure, and early identification of constraints (time, approvals, legal/brand, budget, talent, locations).
The value I bring is operational calm: fewer surprises, faster iteration, and a smoother path from brief to final delivery. With a wider creative skillset it also means I’m native to the terminology and processes, so communication stays clear and concise.
Multiple formats, bolstering partnerships, shipping on time, and within budget. Reaching millions of views.
Tooling is flexible, Spreadsheets, Notion, Slack, GSuite, Asana, Frame, but the principle is consistent: reduce friction, minimise headaches, keep communication clean, and ensure work ships predictably.

PLANNING & BUDETING
PLANNING & BUDETING
Once the brief is aligned, I work with stakeholders to define ownership, individual team members responsibilities, who signs off what, and where decisions get made. I also set the review cadence upfront (rounds, turnaround expectations, and approvals) so feedback stays structured and delivery stays predictable.
That includes commissioning the right support (crew, editors, animators, VO, sound, VFX) and managing the practicalities: quotes, POs where required, and budget tracking in whatever system the team uses. Risk management is taken into account and discussed, as even the leanest of productions can spawn problems.
PRODUCTION & POST DELIVERY
PRODUCTION & POST DELIVERY
I oversee production and post as one continuous delivery system, making sure capture decisions serve the edit, and the edit pipeline stays fast, clean, and predictable. Depending on the project, that can mean coordinating crew and logistics with call sheets, shaping shot requirements, keeping schedules on track, and ensuring we capture the assets we actually need, including release forms.
From there I lead the post-production workflow: building a realistic post schedule across edit, motion, sound, colour, VFX, subtitles and versioning; setting up clean handoffs and review loops; and keeping teams unblocked when constraints change. I’m particularly focused on consistency and scale, maintaining quality across multiple deliverables, formats and markets while protecting deadlines.
