About

“Riveting Ringside Stuff!” Time Out. My ability to tell memorable stories, passion to make the world a better place, collaborative spirit and boundless determination has led me to work on some wonderful projects as a creative director, writer, exec producer and film director. I specialise in using creativity to invoke change and it's what I love to do. My work has received critical acclaim - won gold at the New York Film and TV awards (social good), been broadcast prime time (BBC), staged in some of the world's finest venues, and has been viewed by millions. I've worked on many public sector and UK government projects in the behaviour change and awareness-raising space: HMPPS, Home Office, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Defence, DSTL, British Army, DIFID, NATO, Counter Terrorism Police, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the NHS, Natural England and DEFRA. My wider project portfolio includes international TV broadcasters, global brands, FTSE 100s, NGOs and charities. Check out my website to see more! www.jodisummerwilliams.co.uk
