Jon Clarke

I am a forward-thinking, organised, and solution-led senior leader who thrives on creating supportive, inspiring, and high-performing environments. I lead by example offering my experience to help others grow, learn, and succeed and take great pride in seeing those around me thrive.

With extensive experience across agency, in-house, production, and client-side environments, I am confident leading the development, creation, and delivery of work across all channels. I specialise in implementing efficient workflows, defining clear roles and responsibilities, and optimising ways of working between creative, strategy, production, and client teams.

I’ve been fortunate to work within some of the world’s most successful creative agencies, both in London, New York, and Sydney. This has provided me with a deep understanding of how leading organisations deliver best-in-class creative across every touchpoint; TVC, OOH, print, PR, experiential, digital, social, eCommerce, retail, branded content, and episodic programming.

My first-hand experience across these disciplines has given me a strong appreciation of how agency and client cultures, processes, and goals can differ and how to align them to achieve successful collaboration. I bring a calm, structured, and motivating presence to every project, fostering an environment that enables teams to do their best work.

Operationally, I am well-versed in end-to-end project and production delivery, from scoping and scheduling through to budget management, reconciliation, compliance, resourcing, and forecasting. I have managed everything from SOWs and SLAs to third-party contracts and governing body compliance working with senior stakeholders at every level.

As a Head of Department, Operations Lead, Senior Project Director, and Producer, I’ve successfully delivered content across film, stills, digital, experiential, PR, and radio. I’ve also helped shape new ways of working that enable agencies and clients to better collaborate and adapt to a constantly evolving creative landscape.

I’ve had the privilege of working on global campaigns for some of the world’s most iconic brands including Nike, Converse, Manchester City, The FA, Unilever, Coca-Cola, Audi, LEGO, ASOS, Heinz, Levi’s, Virgin Red, LVMH, P&G, Boots, Mondelez, YouTube, Barclays, and many others—spanning sport, retail, FMCG, fashion, and entertainment.
