JIM BUCKLEY

Jim is a producer and director who turns strong ideas into well run productions.

​

He plugs into agency and in house creative teams as a freelance agency producer, building the plan, assembling the right team, and managing the process so ideas survive contact with reality. His work spans social first creative through national broadcast, with a focus on productions that run efficiently, communicate clearly, and perform in the real world, not just in a deck.

​

When it serves the work, Jim steps in as director, bringing creative continuity from prep through post. Not by default, but as a strategic choice. Some projects benefit from separation of roles, others move faster and land better with a single creative and production lead. Jim knows the difference and builds the right structure around the idea.

​

Across both roles, he protects budgets, schedules, and communication while keeping creative intent intact. He stays connected from first conversation through final delivery, solving problems early and reducing unnecessary handoffs.

​

With over 20 years in the industry, Jim has lived every part of the process, including VP, Director of Broadcast Production, editor, voice artist, and director. That experience makes him fluent in everything from AI driven workflows to complex, high expectation productions, supported by a trusted network of directors, talent, post teams, and vendors.

​

His credits include work with Hill Holliday, Marketbridge, Allen and Gerritsen, SleekMachine, Brownstein Group, Brand Content, and brands like Dunkin’, Xfinity, Constant Contact, and more.
