Background

About Ted Willis

I love telling visually beautiful stories that celebrates the good in the world. That's taken on many forms from 15 second branded content TikTok, to Webby winning YouTube Series. Regardless of format, my favorite projects always spark joy, curiosity, and connection. Over the years I've worn many hats: aligning stakeholders, interviewing executives to bring out their human side and even a stint in front of the camera as a YouTuber! This wide-ranging experience has taught me a few things-I’m a relationships person and genuinely love investing in clients and colleagues- I’ve built multi year partnerships with brands including The Points Guy, Pernod Ricard, Fortune Magazine, A&E, and Heineken- Infusing joy into a team will naturally infuse joy into the final deliverable- The way a client feels while making a video is just as important as the video itself. When stakes are high and deadlines are tight, I excel at keeping my team calm and united around a common goal- I work hard not just for the client but for my team- People always come first- Kindness and gratitude are the easily the most effective motivators. After producing projects in more than 20 countries with cross functional teams over three continents, I’ve learned that creativity can bridge cultural gaps- I'm a fast learner and believe anyone can be my teacher- Human are curious no matter where they are from and great content feeds that curiosity- Diverse perspectives always lead to better solutions. I want to always be learning. This year, that's looked like learning to surf out in The Rockaways. So, when I’m not making videos, you can find me on the beach! Open to creative partnerships — Let’s connect.
