JESSE LOYD

I am an accomplished video production executive with extensive experience directing video production operations in fitness, music, lifestyle, and entertainment. Track record of success spearheading the creative design and production of original content for several formats, including branded content, interviews, livestreams, live TV, original short-form series, and promos. Expert in overseeing highly creative production teams and working with high-profile talent while optimizing workflows and productivity. Recognized for driving countless industry leading productions and content production strategy for multiple high-profile brands with a focus on content quality.

For me, there are two parts that make any project great, professionalism and personality. I believe the two go hand-in-hand.

The experience and maturity that comes with over 25 years in content creation is what I bring professionally. My resume shows a path but does not reveal my ability to pivot or problem solve without losing integrity of the project. Consistency and reliability keep a production moving, but while keeping the status quo is important, building and creating are imperative to launch a project beyond expectations.

My early career began with shooting and producing projects, leading to over a decade as a video editor, and eventually to director on many live studio and field productions. Ultimately, I was elevated to the role of Executive Producer in which my skill sets spread into other arenas of media including social content, business development creatives, on-air television ads, product landing page creatives, budgeting, forecasting roadmaps, and managing/mentoring teams for both company and individual growth.

But to know me personally, is to understand why professionalism with personality is so important. My success arises from kindness and collaboration. I believe in fighting for what I am passionate about but without losing sight of humility. Understanding that every voice should be heard and knowing when it's time to put full support behind other ideas. My maturity brings a level head and calm under pressure as I do not take criticism personally. I see it as my responsibility as a leader to own my mistakes, allowing myself to be better and grow, professionally and personally.

My goal with any team is to turn a project from something we need to work on together, to something we GET to work on together.
