Let me introduce myself. I'm Steve.
I'm a versalite and resourceful cross-platform Producer who specialises in studio content. I've been working in media for over a decade and the creative industries for nearly two. I love telling stories, making people laugh but also taking complicated subjects and making them digestible!
I come from a traditional broadcast TV background, and I've produced major live shows such as Strictly It Takes Two, The One Show and Steph's Packed Lunch. This year is my 5th year producing Strictly It Takes Two and I'm proud I've been trusted by the senior leadership team to be at the forefront of revamping the show this year, as well as delivering 20 live shows. Last year, I produced a special programme looking back at Tess and Claudia's time presenting the main show, which was excellently received by both and the viewers and the presenters.
In recent years I've expanded out into the Branded Content space, producing shows and content for major brands such as Google, Ford, Equinix and Sanofi. This year alone, I've made three YouTube style videos for Google, along with 9x16 social assets, and two 90-minute live shows for another major brand, filming in San Francisco and Amsterdam.
Earlier this year I worked on the marketing side of the E-sports World Cup in Paris, leading a team of ten crew in the creation and delivery of assets for the organisation.
Back in 2022, understanding the way we consume content was changing, I spent a year as Head of Content for the UK's largest family YouTube channel. In that timeframe, I helped increase their viewing figures across their main channel, some videos reaching a million views, as well as launching a successful second channel focusing on studio content. This channel gained over 6 million combined views in it's first 3 months. This role combined everything from production management to editorial to channel management and has given me an excellent understanding of how to create for different platforms, what thumbnails really work and budgeting within that space.
Working across these spaces has given me a 360 degree view of production; scripting, running orders, gallery producing, scheduling, edit producing, managing a team, setting up shoots, budgeting, booking crew, gfx and much much more.
I take pride in becoming an expert at whatever I do, whether that be understanding a company's language and making it consumable to their customers and employees, or consumer rights on The One Show or Steph's Packed Lunch whilst working with a legal team. It's led to having lots of interests such as sport, food, music and current affairs.
I also have presented, produced, edited podcasts in my spare time and as an added bonus for any production that hires me, I can create jingles (see ITT whatsapp Jingle) and VO for stings, VTs and studio games.
