June : Producer

Hi, I’m June

My job involves working closely with the designers and developers in the studio, where I manage the production and delivery of web and print projects.

On a typical day, you’ll find me writing web development scripts, monitoring project resourcing and planning, and coordinating application testing, as well as attending brainstorms and project meetings. I have a special interest in information architecture, usability and accessibility for the web, and enjoy investigating different ways to share knowledge.

I’m looking forward to communicating our ideas and thoughts on this blog.

Tom : Assistant Producer

Hi, I’m Tom

My role is to drive production of the media we work in – essentially, to organise and channel the resources available to create a great product on time and within budget. Production is a wonderfully varied field of work – I hop between five or six projects on any given day and use a range of tools to get things done, from specialist software such as InDesign and Adobe Premier Pro to good old-fashioned scissors and glue.

Specific examples of my work include liaising with graphic designers and developers regarding the design and/or functionality of a project, testing programs and organising the logistics of film shoots.

Keep your eyes open for my additions to this blog – thoughts and experiences of media production straight from the horse’s mouth.

Nick : Producer and Head of Video Services

Hi, I’m Nick

My key focus here at TVF Communications is the provision and development of our video offering, in both a creative and a technical capacity, although I work on the production of media in all its many forms and applications.

On any given day you could find me working on a range of tasks, from developing a filming budget or investigating the latest video technologies to leaping around the streets of London with a video camera. I also manage our team of producers.

I’m looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm for media production through our new blog and providing you with some interesting insights into the world of video.

Liz : Senior Interactive Developer

Hi, I’m Liz

I determine the design and technologies required to create a product for the end user and I’m involved right from the start of a project through to its completion. My time is largely split between designing interfaces and developing products and applications. I work with a range of multimedia packages and a typical day could include anything from developing a plan for a product, mocking up an interface in Photoshop and writing code to attending a creative brainstorm or developing a brand identity.

I hope this blog will be of interest to our clients, the industry as a whole and also to our internal team. It is a place where we can voice our thoughts and ideas about various aspects of our industry and the technology that surrounds it.

Watch this space…

Liz

Alan : Creative and Technical Director

Hi, I’m Alan

I've been with TVF Communications for 12 years now and working in the industry for 17. My role includes managing the studio and development teams and overseeing the technical and creative elements of our work, as well as hands-on involvement in our projects. I also lead TVF Communications’ marketing work and steer our interest and adoption of new technologies.

Our work for the pharmaceutical industry is very broad and covers everything from conferences, online and hybrid applications to print and strategic consultancy. One of my great interests is fitting new (and old) technologies and strategies to the changing needs of the industry. I’m particularly interested in and actively exploring the role of social computing within the pharmaceutical and broader healthcare contexts.

Our goal with this blog is to open up our interests, our experience and our views for the future of the industry to our clients and the healthcare community as a whole.

Alan
