Bio
Karen Wilson
Jake is our (Resonance) go-to when we're in need of professional, high quality - and genuinely powerful - video interviews and photography. Because most of the films we are looking to create require someone who can be professional and sensitive/intuitive and able to get the best out of all sorts of wonderful people at the same time, Jake is perfect. Watching him 'in action' he is gentle but clear - a great communicator - and in control of what needs to be achieved, managing expectations. He is also incredibly supportive, positive and encouraging with people who might be feeling understandably nervous and anxious about being filmed and honestly, he is just so good with them, drawing them out of themselves so they feel comfortable and natural in telling 'their story'. A natural people person! We are really so pleased and happy with the films he and the team at Tusko have created for us over the years and no doubt Jake will continue to be top of our video interviewing call up list going forward. Thanks Jake and team Tusko!

Jake is a pleasure to work with - that rare breed of highly skilled and professional whilst being very personable and kind. His commitment to and vision for the campaign we commissioned from him was brilliant from start to finish. I hope to work with him again very soon

Tusko is an award-winning creative agency HQ’d in Bristol. We specialise in Content, Web & Branding, and Ethical Marketing. Our name Tusko, and our logo, has a reference to an elephant in it. That’s the elephant in the room – the big thing that we sometimes just don’t talk enough about. That could be gender equality, mental health, or for others the climate crisis. All subjects we’ve helped run campaigns on for our clients and areas we love to work in. If your purpose driven organisation is trying to make the world a better place through your vision and mission, we'll work well together. Simply, we create things that people engage with. We have a keen focus on behavioural change and reaching strategic objectives. We do this by marrying the art of storytelling to the science of data analytics. Tusko is a registered B Corp®.
