Seeking a remote role as a Creative Producer, Campaign Manager, or Story Strategist leading ideas from concept to execution.

@briansmall
I’m a Creative Producer and Story Strategist with 10+ years of experience taking big concepts from a napkin sketch to multi-platform execution.
South KoreaWhat I'm looking for
My background bridges high-stakes TV development and casting for major US networks like TLC, HGTV, and Food Network with digital media strategy and content creation in Seoul. Formally trained in writing for film and television, my career spans a decade of media production in Philadelphia and New York before expanding internationally to South Korea.
I specialize in leveraging modern AI tools, rapid prototyping, and visual platforms to build eye-grabbing pitch decks, campaign narratives, and structured media workflows. I am an obsessive project orchestrator, sharp writer, and natural idea generator rooted in storytelling, sketch, and comedy. I excel at scouting talent and locations, building crews, aligning cross-functional teams, and pitching big concepts that captivate audiences.
Whether organizing complex multi-stakeholder productions, directing social campaigns, or shaping a brand’s public voice, I thrive at the direct intersection of bold creative vision and meticulous operational execution to deliver work that commands attention.
