Julie MacDonald Director Clanmac Media
I love nothing more than listening to people’s stories. It’s what inspired me to become a journalist and what has afforded me the utter privilege of being invited into people’s lives through horror and sometimes celebration for the last 20 years.
Helping our clients recognise their own great stories, often right under their noses and building, powerful, simple film strategies to help them connect with people, gives me huge satisfaction.
Being a journalist in the field means being a perpetual problem solver under pressure, and it’s that strategy and logistics tussle alongside the creativity and human story that propels me out of bed in the morning. Outside of work, I’m a voracious reader who loves lifting weights and hanging out with my kids.

Beneath Julie’s more serious broadcast persona, belies a cracking Celtic sense of humour, an addiction to plain chocolate hobnobs and a passion for telling stories.
With almost 25 years working for some of the globe’s biggest broadcasters, as a news anchor and reporter, Julie’s got a killer instinct for a story, and a belief in telling the stories that matter.
Supporting clients on a mission to make change and become thought leaders in their industries, Julie’s passion is in making corporate film, every bit as watchable and covetable as the content we devour on Netflix. Passionate about supercharging diversity in the workplace, Julie’s ‘No More Robots’ Communications Training is underpinning the work of some of the world’s most important institutions.
Julie continues to be the person on the bus and on the tube striking up conversations with strangers, and stuffing her zest for learning and life into every project.
Jeff Emerson
Creative Director Leap Productions
“I picked up my first camera at the age of 12 and knew immediately that I had in my hands, the tool that I needed to tell stories – and I had the need to tell stories. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to not only tell my own stories but also to trusted by others to tell theirs. It is that trust that I take seriously and continuously drives me to be better as a filmmaker and a person.
That said, I often find myself paraphrasing an old friend, who once at a particularly tricky moment on a difficult shoot shouted “Just remember, we’re in the fun business’.
And we are.
Filmmaking is one of the toughest team ’sports’ there is but let’s be honest, it’s great fun. At that moment that you realise what you are making is special, well, that’s the motivation”

Our Partner - Leap Productions
We work in partnership with London based Leap Productions taking advantage of their incredible creative skills and global footprint. Blending our skill sets across news and current affairs with theirs in entertainment, and large scale production planning and programme making we can offer our clients a lean alternative to the sometimes top heavy agencies.
We’re driven by a common goal of creating great films, on budget and on time and putting our clients money on the screen (not in our pockets). We also believe in having an awesome time in the process, treating our clients with kindness and avoiding the faff and bluster that can make the creative process more time consuming and costly than it needs to be.
We’re looking to build long term, lasting relationships with our clients, so their films bring a return on investment year after year.
