  • Senior Producer

    • Sep 2006 - Apr 2013

    My key function as Senior Producer was to create adverts that sell tv shows & movies.I was able to lead and mentor a team of editor / producers , designers and animators to develop highly creative on-air promotions for the channel. With e.tv’s ‘zero-tolerance’ for mistakes. I also had the responsibility of final sign-off before promos went to air.A further add value was demonstrated in my creative editing skills, knowledge of motion graphics and effective promo producing. Whereby I was able to lead by example and personally produce many award winning promos during this period which allowed me to be promoted to a position specifically created for me.Brandon Heyburgh
