Hat # 2 - Consultant

For my first consultancy, I joined BT Sport three months before the channels launched, I was brought on board by Grant Best to develop personality for the channels through programming, talent and content. I exec produced five shows and was responsible for offering creative advice on all the programming output. I was also a member of the Creative Steering Group, reporting to the Head of Sport, working on scheduling, acquisition and content strategy for the BT channels. 

Over the last few years I’ve consulted for the Endemol Shine Group, Roche Martin , Global Radio, Wireless Radio (NewsCorp) and Dr. Pluto Films. Highlights have included seeing Katie Hopkins locked in the trunk of a Ford Cortina, working out that Salieri did indeed kill Mozart and having the pleasure of filming the highest rated TedTalk speaker, Sir Ken Robinson wax lyrical about the revolutionary times we live in before he passed away. 

I’ve also consulted for The Podcast Company to develop an entertainment sports podcast for ESPN and worked with Jewish Book Week to produce their finale session featuring Jason Isaacs, Zoë Wanamaker and Emily Maitlis. Recently, I’ve worked with the law firm, Shoosmiths, to empower their media team and with Merlin Entertainment on stories for their rides.
