Courtney Harmstone
Senior Creative - Strategist - Producer
Senior creative and strategist with over a decade turning briefs into video-first branded campaigns that perform creatively and commercially.
Lead concept development end-to-end - from first spark through pitch, production and delivery - across social-led video, branded content, editorial partnerships and live events.
Equally at home presenting to clients and briefing directors, designers and animators, with a track record of converting cultural and audience instinct into commissioned work.
BACKGROUND
My experience spans across all facets of production, including events, short form content, long form documentaries and feature films. For five years, I ran an independent shorts film festival called Catfish Shorts, all while managing a production role that took me around the world, filming in places including Davos, Switzerland, the Faroe Islands, Croatia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In my spare time, I also work with filmmakers to produce short and feature films and am a mentor to emerging filmmakers.
My passion and drive for delivering the best content for my clients and team is evident in the dedication and care I put into every project that crosses my desk.
