I work in a unique partnership with our Film Director, Simon Morice. I am responsible for understanding our clients' audiences, working out the messages that should be communicated and then working with Simon who is responsible for weaving them into engaging, informative and effective films.This frequently involves much noisy aggressive argument but results in effective productions and, remarkably, we remain good friends.In addition I have a special interest in the reporting aspects of our work. Much of our work is at the cutting edge of complex subjects and the challenge is to understand and explain concepts in a way that genuinely accurate. My pet hate is listening to reports where the journalist has failed to take the time to understand the background and therefore the context and we are served misleading truths.
