Creative Content Producer | Executive Producer | Head of Production at Freelance (Kolby Slocum)
Greater New York City Area, 美国

概要

I am an accomplished executive producer who has spent my career telling compelling stories that connect with target audiences and get results for global brands and top agencies. My well-rounded production background in film, live television, and digital content strategy enables me to understand client needs, generate big ideas, lead effective production teams, and always deliver, regardless of budget or timeline.

Since 2010, I have helped agencies including VML, Story Worldwide, Tribal, and FCB navigate the convergence of traditional and digital production while building the teams and infrastructure to support it. I am an award-winning creative content producer equally comfortable producing broadcast, digital, live event, and experiential solutions that drive client retention, revenue, and customer engagement across multiple channels.

As a leader, I focus on providing the knowledge, tools, and opportunities for my teams to develop valuable skills and the confidence that ensures their growth and happiness. I also have a unique ability to take the most complex multi-channel initiatives and break them down into manageable projects.

I look forward to continuing to produce content and direct teams at innovative organizations who embrace emerging technologies and the value of storytelling.
