Video Producer/Editor
August 2013 to October 2015
Kirk Carson LLC, Detroit metro area, Michigan
Worked on all aspects of production, including on-set production, video editing, motion graphics, audio, and talent direction.
Managed projects with multiple stakeholders, including external creative and production partners.
Built relationships with local production houses and agencies.
After working at two of the largest advertising agencies in Detroit, I started my own business doing contract work for Doner, Campbell-Ewald, Latcha, and Team Detroit (now GTB) with the relationships I formed while at these agencies. Not limited to just agencies and post-houses, I also worked directly with companies and organizations to produce internal and external video content. Along with the creative demands of producing work for different agencies, I also managed invoicing, scheduling, client relations, as well as hiring crew whenever necessary. When I started, my schedule was fairly lean. But by 2015, I was in high demand with double- and triple-holds as different agencies all vied for my time. Every agency and post-house I worked for asked me to come back to produce more content since I make high-quality, creatively rich content with quick turnarounds.
