Kelly Wood
Freelance Detective, Diplomat, Accountant, Concierge, Translator, Cat Wrangler, Creative Doula
In other words... A PRODUCER! Specifically, an Advertising Content / Commerical Producer.
I have had the intense pleasure of being one for 20 years, and it is a job i cherish and am pretty darn good at.
I am great at assessing creative boards, at understanding strategy, and ballparking costs. I thrive on communication and team building. I’m a great creative matchmaker with vendors and teams. I excel at accurate estimation, handling talent, managing clients and account teams. I’m forward thinking, and always have a back up plan to the back up plan. I’m diplomatic, and able to think on my feet to offer thoughtful suggestions and advice. I’ve got a vast rolodex of vendors to rely upon. I’m still able to learn from every project, and I enjoy working with creatives and account people. I dislike mean people and working harder instead of smarter. I have an excellent bullS*&t detector.
Outside of production, I am obsessed with interior design and real estate. I own 2 condos in Austin and am an Airbnb Superhost, in one of them. I am drawn to water and spend as much time in pools, rivers, lakes and oceans as I can. I am an avid movie watcher and had a run of 10 years where i attended the Sundance Film festival every year between 1997 - 2007. I attended the Cannes Film Festival before I ever attended the Cannes Ad Festival.
I work globally, but can work as a local in Austin, LA, San Francisco, NY, and Miami if budgets require it.
