Whilst a lot of my work is process, operations and implementing strategy which is hard to see with the naked eye, the other side of my work is production management. Here is a selection of my production work.

Coordination of film teams to be in locations in one weekend; 4 x pubs, 2 x stadiums, 1 x event in Johannesburg.

THE PRODUCTION

From pilot prototyping to full live gameshow broadcast. We developed a play along game that allowed players to play the exact same questions as live contestants exactly at the same time as the contestants on the live show. A first of its kind that required legal approval to be the first show with zero delay. The legal approval was needed because we needed to prove that no one could somehow cheat and get answers to the live contestants (no coughing cues etc). There was £1,000,000 at stake!
