AI Media Consultancy
AI consultancy grounded in four decades of broadcast reality.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping media production faster than most organisations can keep pace with. I help broadcasters, digital publishers, and production teams cut through the hype — and build practical, effective AI workflows that actually work under the pressure of real deadlines.
I can offer real-world AI consultancy support based on real production workflows. It's consultancy built on more than 40 years of hands-on media experience, from the BBC studio floor to production environments in over 40 countries. I also design and build bespoke AI automations that deliver fast, efficient AI solutions built for you, that fix your bottlenecks and workflow frictions, transforming organisations and how they serve their audiences.
Why experience matters in AI consultancy
Anyone can demo an AI tool. Far fewer people can tell you how it holds up in a live newsroom, on a remote shoot, or when a deadline is an hour away.
I started my career at the BBC at 19, working across technical operations, studio and location camera, sound, editing, and live directing. Over more than two decades with the BBC, I produced and edited long-form documentaries, trained journalists and production teams, and eventually managed the BBC's central video journalism training operation — helping scale new skills across the UK during one of the most significant periods of transition in broadcast history.
Since 2013, I've delivered training and consultancy in over 40 countries, working with broadcasters, NGOs, and media organisations of every size.
When AI arrived as a serious production tool, I was already deeply embedded in the question of how media organisations adapt to change. That's the lens through which I approach AI consultancy — not as a technology evangelist, but as a producer who understands what you're actually trying to achieve.
What I do
AI Workflow Consultancy I assess where your organisation is now and identify where AI tools can make a genuine difference — saving time, improving quality, or opening up new production possibilities. I'll tell you what's worth your investment and what isn't.
Tool Selection & Evaluation From AI-assisted editing and transcription to image generation, voiceover synthesis, and automated captioning — I evaluate tools against real production requirements, not marketing claims.
Training & Integration Workshops I design and deliver focused AI training for newsrooms, production teams, and media organisations. Practical, fast-paced, and tailored to your workflow and skill level.
Bespoke AI Strategy For organisations looking to take a longer view, I work with leadership and production teams to develop an AI strategy that aligns with editorial values, budget realities, and the skills of your team.
Ongoing Consultancy & Support The AI landscape moves quickly. I offer ongoing support for organisations that want a trusted adviser in their corner as things evolve.
