Akash Prasad

I have extensive experience in media production, with a career built on creativity and technical expertise. As the Creative Director and Production Manager of Surrealshot Media, I have led a variety of projects in photography, filmmaking, and marketing campaigns. My ability to conceptualise, execute, and deliver high-quality content has allowed me to thrive in diverse roles. Proficiency in Adobe Suite, coupled with strong project management skills, enables me to produce engaging visuals while meeting client objectives and deadlines.

My leadership and organisational skills are evident in my event management roles, where I have successfully coordinated teams, nurtured client relationships, and handled logistics. I have managed operations for restaurant chains, motorsports events, and media productions, consistently streamlining processes and ensuring smooth execution. Additionally, my work with the Portobello Writer’s Meetup reflects my dedication to fostering creative communities, hosting networking events, and supporting emerging storytellers through film funding initiatives.

With expertise in digital marketing and strategic communications, I excel at developing campaigns that boost brand visibility and drive audience engagement. My skills encompass social media management, content creation, and promotional strategies tailored to diverse audiences. Drawing on my background in marketing, event coordination, and administration, I bring a comprehensive skill set to every project, making me well-suited for creative and managerial roles in the media industry.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from the University of Roehampton, where I gained a strong foundation in marketing principles, digital strategies, and branding. My coursework included consumer behaviour, project management, global marketing, and emerging issues in marketing communications, which equipped me with the skills to create effective campaigns, develop unique brand identities, and navigate the complexities of the digital economy.

In addition, I completed the Fundamentals of Acting program at RADA, where I studied screen acting, voice, world theatre, and movement. This training enhanced my creative communication skills and provided a deep understanding of storytelling and audience engagement. These combined educational experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with diverse audiences and deliver impactful, results-driven work.
