Al Jazeera English is one of the world’s most respected news and current affairs channels, I was brought on board in the channel’s post-launch period, a crucial point in it’s development, to help establish the channel’s ‘voice’ and on-air look.This position involved working closely with News, Programming, Marketing and teams from across Aljazeera’s network. I travelled extensively for this work, producing and filming in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the United States.I was responsible for developing original Promotions campaigns, Filming, Directing, Editing, Script Writing and Supervising Design.

When I first joined Aljazeera, I recognized what was needed was a human approach. During my first vacation I set off to Malaysia, armed with my personal camera kit and a few contact names. I came back with a pilot format, which became the template for all our future Correspondent and Presenter led promotions.But not all Aljazeera’s output is hard news. For ‘Counting the Cost’ the channel’s weekly business show, I developed a campaign of humorous and sometimes surreal promotions. Mainly filmed with my own equipment, this innovative approach received positive recognition in the form of a Promax Gold Award.

Qatar

My first venture into the Middle East. Jazeera Children’s Channel wanted to extend their range of programmes to include the Arts. With my background in Art and Children’s television I was able to develop a concept for a new series, ‘Sahat Al-Founoon’ (The Arts Plaza).This required me generating and testing hundreds of original creative ideas (In music, drama, painting, sculpture and even cookery!). The logistical problems of ordering vast amounts of art materials in a difficult region, on a strict budget and to tight deadlines were immense. But, with perseverance and some negotiations, I got the job done.

Milan/Rome

Sky Italia were in the early stages of Pre-Launch and needed someone with a good knowledge of how the Italian TV industry worked. Taken on as their Development Producer, I worked across a comprehensive range of genres. We were starting this platform from scratch and so, in the early days, I was shuttling backwards and forwards between the Network’s headquarters in Milan and Rome, pitching original channel concepts to James Murdoch along with projections for Staffing, Budgets and Facilities. Once we had established the key channels, it was time to launch. At this time I led the Promotions team, developing branding and working closely with Marketing and Scheduling to get us on-air.Once the network was up and running, my focus shifted to the more specific tasks of Executive Producing programmes for the reality channel ‘Sky Vivo’ and the newly emerging Paramount Comedy Italia. During this same period, I was fortunate enough to work as Line Producer on projects such as the BBC’s Heston Blumenthal’s ‘Perfection’, Adam Hart Davis’ ‘What the Roman’s did for us’, Jetix’s launch of it’s new teen channel GXT and for Discovery Italia I Independently Produced and Filmed a series of short documentaries on Italian Explorers, Scientists & Adventurers.

Milan, Italy

Disney Channel Italia needed to give a fresh look to their daily live show, so they brought me over from the UK to work in their Milan based HQ. I began the transformation with a series of simple but significant changes. We didn’t want to throw out the old format entirely, it had a loyal following, but we did want to bring it up to date. By re-branding opening titles, introducing new presenters and making the programme more interactive, we were able to bring the programme into the 21st century.

Shepherds Bush London

AS Senior Producer I was responsible for managing a team of Directors, Researchers & PA’s.to produce daily live continuity on BBC1 & BBC2. The role included exercising editorial control and supervising staff, as well as developing and overseeing production (involving frequent 2-ways with other studios).

London Uk

In a bold departure from their usual promo-driven continuity, Discovery requested me to develop a presenter-led format for their peak time viewing. This required my involvement at all levels including negotiating production and post production facilities, developing branding and hand-picking a team. The ‘Power Zone’, as it became know, was a sophisticated combination of studio and location pieces that gave an added edge to the Discovery experience. During this time I also Produced a range of Specials including ‘The Pulse’ A half hour pilot programme for the Discovery Health Channel, an episode Discovery Today shot on location at the Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and a Battle of Britain Special Feature. I also Produced and Directed a series of hosted evenings with Discovery style personalities including such people as Stephen Hawking and Rannulph Fiennes.

Birmingham Uk

Directing daily continuity for CITV was an exhilarating introduction into Live television in the UK! Featuring 2 ways with studios across Britain, regular celebrity guests, live band performances and live location features, it was a full-on experience.

Rome Area, Italy

Originally taken on as a Promo Producer I was ultimately responsible for Producing and Directing the Fun Channel’s weekly two hour live show for children, ‘The Fun Club’ (TFC). This was a presenter led programme incorporating phone-in games and guest appearances.
