I originally started out as a screenwriter but got side-tracked by the bright lights and big bucks of the marketing world. After decades building brands for some of the world's biggest companies I've returned to my content creation roots.

An example of one of the 100 or more videos created each year by the content facility based in the PepsiCo Dubai HQ offices. This was filmed in India and used globally. Other videos were regularly filmed in Egypt, Saudi, Jordan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines and Australia.
Filmed in Rayong Thailand via Matching Studios. Three different talent versions shot to cater for several different countries running the spot.
A career in stockbroking wasn't quite what I had planned since I was horrible at math and pretty good at writing in school. Nonetheless, it paid well and I learned a lot about what makes makes money. Still, numbers are meaningless without words.

After a few years in the ad business I started out as a screenwriter, attending the UCLA Film & Television School, Syd Fields writer's course and learning the art of film production.
But then the corporate world came calling. I've spend decades developing content and strategies for some of the world's biggest brands: Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Heineken, IBM, Levis and Sony to name a few. Including setting up and running an internal content studio for PepsiCo servicing Asia, The Middle East and Africa - based in Dubai. I also spent 10 years in Hong Kong coordinating the creation and production of content campaigns for Pepsi and it's other brands across Asia.
I've been closely involved in literally hundreds of shoots and productions across 30 countries - from small budgets to multi-million dollar efforts featuring celebrities.
