Jeanette is an award-winning producer with over 20 years of experience in the television commercial industry. Providing enthusiastic and insightful leadership, Jeanette has a proven track record managing and motivating production teams to deliver excellence: on-time, on-budget.

 
 

She has worked for production companies in New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles as well as advertising agencies. She is a producer with experience in both arenas, so her objectives on a film set can encompass the vision of all. She’s played a key role in the creation of campaigns, product launches and redesigns for blue chip clients.

She launched the film division at Moondog (now called Carousel), a collective that provides creative, production, editorial, and post production. She successfully shepherded it as EP, Head of Production, from ground zero, until her departure at the end of January 2016.

Prior to that, Cannes Lions’ Grand Prix winner, Dutch director Rogier van der Ploeg and Jeanette, established the New York office of the international production company Czar Films. In order to be close to the action on Czar NY’s sets, while running the company, Jeanette worked as both Line and Executive Producer. This protocol, coupled with a strong collaboration with Rogier, offered a distinctive blend of service and award-winning spots to the advertising agency and clients including Budweiser, Miller Lite, Chrysler and Sprint.

Most recently, she was the Executive Producer and Head of Production of Manhattan Productions (now called Open Swim), overseeing its content and commercial endeavors. From her start in September of 2016 to her departure in June of 2021, Jeanette helped grow Manhattan’s portfolio of services, which included packaging projects from concept through production execution, and to edit/post – and all under one shop. Agency partners included Saatchi, Womenkind, EGC, and Wunderman Thompson – working for brands AbbVie Inc., Brother International, PDC Brands, and Pfizer Inc.

In addition to her work in commercial and web content production, Jeanette has also produced several short films and videos. These include the Emmy award-winning, Great Performances segment of “The Hallelujah Chorus,” conducted by Quincy Jones, and the short film, “Beyond the Ladies Room Door,” featured in the shorts program at the Hamptons International Film Festival. During her tenure at Manhattan Productions, she was also involved in the production of the feature film, Centigrade (2021).

Currently, Jeanette continues to work as an independent producer/EP, spearheading projects for both line/content production and broadcast advertising – a reflection of her “hybrid” role. Her reputation has cemented recent relationships with Cheil North America, StrawberryFrog, and Carousel Collective – some of the top agencies and clients worldwide. And she continues to provide the exceptional work the industry has come to expect of her: creativity, a keen client service, budget management, and high-level communication and organizational skills. Her diverse experience in production and post-production is exceptional, and she brings to bear a depth of talent and understanding of the industry that is unique in the field of broadcast commercial and content production.
