Jonny Briggs

I've spent the last 10 years as a senior/lead freelancer, leading the content creation for a diverse set of clients both creatively and strategically. One of my main lead creative roles has been with Pioneer DJ, in the electronic music and DJ audio hardware/software production market. In this role, I led the creative and production of a majority of Pioneer DJ's global video content, overseeing the entire production pipeline from conceptualisation to execution. My responsibilities included coordinating complex projects that seamlessly integrated many different creative elements to highlight key USPs and product features. I also creatively led the video content and production at FourFourTwo magazine for a long period, overseeing the development and execution of captivating visual narratives that complemented the publication's editorial voice. During my tenure, I collaborated closely with editorial teams to conceptualise and produce engaging video content that resonated with football enthusiasts worldwide. My background is rich and varied, encompassing animation direction, commercial production, and documentary filmmaking. I also have extensive experience photographing events and directing photoshoots for various clients. This diverse skill set has equipped me with a deep understanding of the entire production process. Over the years, I've refined my craft and mastered the intricacies of post-production, transitioning from roles as an editor to lead creative and directing positions. Prior to my freelance endeavours, I held studio management and department head roles within agencies, providing me with a unique perspective on the creative and technical aspects of filmmaking. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a strong commitment to delivering high-quality creative visual content while overseeing projects from conception to completion. My experience spans various aspects of the production workflow, from developing creative concepts and storyboarding to managing production logistics and directing talent. I take pride in my ability to push creative boundaries while staying true to the project's objectives, whether crafting compelling narratives for brand campaigns, bringing animated characters to life, or capturing the authenticity of real-life stories in documentary formats. In addition to my expertise in creative direction and production, I excel in post-production management and possess a deep understanding of a wide array of post-production software.
