THE CORE TEAM
Tim Maynard | Managing Director

Tim is an experienced producer, director (not to mention, post production whizz) with a long list of credits, both editorial and branded. His work has been seen on BBC, ITV and Channel 4. He developed his journalistic chops with print titans like The Economist, The Guardian and The Times.

Tim is highly tuned into each step of the production process and builds strong client relationships in an efficient and conscientious fashion. He is an expert at bringing complicated messages to life, having spent his formative years in the edit suite, honing the craft of storytelling.

Tim takes pride in his work across the globe for humanitarian causes, most notably through his film-making for Christian Aid, Raleigh International and VSO.

TK is a post-production guru with twenty years’ skin in the game. He earned his stripes with clients like BBC, HBO, Disney+, Discovery, NewsUK and ITV. Not one to rest on his laurels, Tom is constantly re-training in the latest and best software to make our projects sing.

He approaches every piece of work with an eagle-eyed attention to detail. But what gets us really excited is his confident and engaging storytelling, incorporating bold use of music, sound design and motion graphics… to leave a lasting impression.
