I help broadcasters and production companies deliver high pressure, unscripted series that are both commercially successful and contributor-safe.
My leadership style combines empathy with creative clarity. I’m known for delivering ambitious editorial arcs with heart, humour, and drama whilst uniting stakeholders; from talent, to networks, to streamers.
Over 20+ years I’ve:
• Reinvigorated legacy brands and turned them into streaming hits
• Led productions with casts of 30+ and crews of 100+ across global locations and fixed rigs including; The South Pacific, South Africa, Thailand, Cyprus, Spain, Turkey, and Portugal
• Helped create gold standard welfare and compliance systems now used across global franchises
• Guided returning casts through the highs and lows of reality TV
* Inspired trust and confidence in brand new contributors and talent (including established talent doing VO / in ear direction for first time)
• Shaped and developed formats including Rose d’Or and NRTVA winners
Now I’m focused on projects that align with my values: warm, authentic formats that connect with audiences through empathy, humour, and scale. I'm also open to permanent roles where I can maximise / apply my creative expertise across TV, and the wider entertainment industry.
My degree is in creative advertsing, and I was a copywriter in a top 10 London agency before being selected from over 4000 applicants for a BBC Light Entertainment Development Trainee Scheme so I have a varied creative background.
I really enjoy getting behind the psychology of what makes people 'tick', and pride myself on genuinely caring about welfare which was reflected by my most longterm employer recently:
"Having worked with Kate on several productions she had been consistently impressive. Her creativity and editorial instinct, balanced with her care for cast and crew always delivers great results" - Jaime Brannan, VP Unscripted Paramount +
"Kate is an experienced Executive Producer who is great with talent, is a master story- teller and a Creative who understands the programme as a brand - effectively managing press, social, marketing and commercial across the programme and talent as well as running the show! A joy to work with, genuine, authentic and a hard worker, her experience managing high profile, fast-turnaround reality and entertainment would make her a huge asset to any show. I can't imagine there is a lot Kate hasn't seen or experienced first hand. A trusted team player and senior leader."
Rachel Hardy, Director of Communications, FlightStory
“ Kate is a huge asset to any production; she's a great creative who truly gets production management too, and works hard to ensure teams are carefully constructed, fully supported, and have a lot of fun along the way”
Joe McClusky, GM CPL Productions
