Matthew Balaam , London, United Kingdom

I am an Executive Producer, Creative Producer, Director and Edit Producer, with a track record in delivering exciting and impactful content.

I’ve led production teams from conception through to delivery, spearheading award-winning work; delivering business goals by engaging audiences across multiple touchpoints.

I’ve been responsible for scheduling and financial control of projects ranging in complexity and cost from £5k to 1 million.

I’ve built trusted and sustained client relationships across a broad range of industries and sectors, from FSTE 100 brands through to public and third sector organisations.

I’ve worked in large creative agencies, small independent production companies and as a freelancer for both; as well as independently and directly with clients.

I’ve produced content in a variety of styles and genres from short tactical talking heads through to animations and dramas. From authentic and emotive storytelling to playful and humorous social media advertising.

I’ve created business and public facing branded content alongside engaging and transforming employee engagement and internal communications.

My latest project (for DHL) engaged both internal and external audiences. I created a raft of online content that told the story of Susie Goodall's attempt to win the Golden Globe Race by sailing solo, and without GPS, around the world; a re-run (and 50th anniversary) of the notorious race that only one sailor would complete! Its hero film won Silver at the Brand Film Awards and the campaign won the Drum Marketing Award for best sponsorship activation. The judges thought there was one stand out entry in this category. A campaign that tickled their senses and smartly integrated brand messaging alongside a sponsorship.
