Harry Grindrod

Experienced and multi-skilled commercial and branded video content professional. As Head of Video at Telegraph Spark, I assumed the role of Producer, Director and Editor, working directly with clients and my team to oversee the inception of ideas through to final delivery. By leading the team across all aspects of video production and introducing streamlined, cost-effective workflows, I increased the capacity for the Telegraph to produce first class commercial video content in-house while maintaining and improving on the high quality standards the audience associates with the brand. This approach has in turn substantially increased profitability of individual video productions, and led to a higher visual standard. I’m an end-to-end video professional with a long history of working across all aspects of video production: from camera operation to project managing full scale international productions. I’m experienced on all platforms from social media to TVC, having led campaigns for many internationally recognisable household names. I’m chiefly skilled in creative direction, new business acquisition, production management, team leadership, and client relations. I’m used to fast-paced environments with agile, adaptable workflows and a positive glass-half-full approach. I have expert technical ability across all contemporary camera systems and industry standard production processes, as well as high level knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Pro X and Da Vinci Resolve et al. I make productions happen; I make brands happy.
