Hi! I'm Jonathan. Most people call me JT. I am an award-winning Creative, currently working at ITV with my creative partner, Hannah Roe. I previously worked at Comedy Central UK and Britbox. In 2019 I won Best New Talent at the Promax Europe Awards. I have won awards for Best On Air Campaign, Entertainment, Film and Use of Humour at Promax UK. I was a semi-finalist at the Sundance Institute Episodic Lab in 2015 and was shortlisted for the Clios and the British Arrows in 2023. I'm proud to have been an official mentor for Creative Access members and in 2024, I gave a talk for the Royal Television Society on my work.
From filming the worlds longest football game (102 hours, lots of injuries, surprisingly few goals) to directing sitcoms on a shoe string, I've also produced a variety of independent projects. One web-series even went on to become a real life show on the telly.
Away from all that, I'm also a published cartoonist. I'll be uploading the ones editors liked (and a lot more they didn't) here very soon for your amuseument.
If you have an idea or just want to chat about 'that ludicrous display last night', drop me a line.
