More about me +

Meet Phil

I kickstarted my career as a video editor at an agency in 2007, working my way up to head of video by 2012. After this, I spread my wings and set up my own video production company and established myself as a freelancer, all of which kept me very busy until around 2022.

Wanting to become a more rounded creative director, I spent the next four years working in marketing agencies, helping brands move beyond conventional marketing messages and build meaningful connections with their audiences through video, content, campaigns and brand experiences.

Now, I’m taking everything that I’ve learned and providing businesses, individuals, artists and more the opportunity to share their incredible story with the world.

I want to share what I’ve learned, open a few doors and give emerging talent the support and confidence they deserve to build careers of their own.
