About me
I have over 18 years experience in the UK media industry as an executive producer, digital media consultant and screenwriter.
I specialise in developing and producing best-in-class multi-platform entertainment, and designing unique formats for bespoke digital distribution. Whether that’s a TV show with an interactive component, social media content, second screen experiences, interactive storytelling…the specifics are forever changing. What excites me is embracing the latest technological advancement, or viewer behaviour, working out its creative potential and devising top quality and often award-winning entertainment formats that exploit that new development to the full.
Along the way, largely because of my years of experience in digital media, I became a strategist and consultant, advising brands on how they can use new platforms to tell their story in more effective ways. I often work with brands and producers as they take their first steps into the world of digital or social content, devising strategies and overseeing content production to meet their objectives. You can find examples of my work in the case studies section.

“Jon single-handedly brought Hat Trick to the then new world of digital content and entertainment. It’s very unusual to find a high degree of technical expertise and an innate feel for compelling content in one individual. He’s also a great person to work with!”
Jimmy Mulville, Managing Director, Hat Trick Productions
“Jon’s guidance on production processes and structure proved incredibly valuable as we grew out what eventually became an award-winning team. Jon is creative, experienced, knowledgable, well-networked, and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone seeking to do something ambitious with video.”
Mike Burton, Head of Content, The Hook Media Group
“Jon came to work with us at the Booker Prizes last year, first to help devise a digital content strategy and then to mastermind video content in particular. But he has done so much more. He has made some fantastic new material, overseen a significant cultural archive with care, and been the lynchpin in relations with a number of agencies and individuals. Perhaps his most hidden skill is his gentle, effective form of collaboration. Some people are forces for good; perhaps even fewer are unassuming forces for unity. Jon is one of them.”
