About Cian Wilkins

As a highly skilled and versatile video producer and director, I specialize in managing the entire video production cycle, from ideation to post-production, for digital content across multiple platforms. At The Jamie Oliver Group, I lead content creation for major platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, tailoring each project to meet the unique needs of each platform's audience. Whether I'm working on recipe videos, live events, or talent interviews, I ensure that every piece of content resonates with the audience while maintaining high production quality.

With extensive experience in directing and shooting content with both professional equipment (DSLR, mirrorless, and cinema cameras) and mobile phones, I am proficient in all stages of production. I thrive in fast-paced environments, working closely with stakeholders to manage projects, coordinate feedback, and ensure timely delivery of content. My hands-on approach and attention to detail, from pre-production through post-production, have consistently resulted in content that garners high reach and engagement.

In addition to my core responsibilities, I actively collaborate across departments to foster efficient workflows and create a diverse range of content that aligns with audience interests. My previous roles have further developed my skills in stakeholder management, creative ideation, and team leadership. I've had the opportunity to work with top-tier clients, including Google Arts & Culture, where I produced and directed a launch film for their interactive project "Dreaming With Flamingos" in collaboration with Yinka Ilori.

Whether leading a team or executing projects solo, my focus remains on producing innovative, engaging content that not only meets but exceeds expectations. I bring creativity, technical expertise, and strategic insight to every project, ensuring that every piece of content is impactful and aligns with the brand's vision.
