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 have been nominated for the Clios, British Arrows and the Campaign In-House Agency Awards. 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 work I'm a published cartoonist. You can see the toons editors liked, and a few they didn't here.
If you have an idea or just want to chat about 'that ludicrous display last night', drop me a line.
