John Lindstedt
Creative Social Producer & Account Manager
ABOUT ME
I've been marketing films and TV shows for 13 years. Starting as a digital PA for the long running television series America's Most Wanted on the East Coast, I eventually moved to LA to get a near-decade of #agencylife.
Since then, I've been working for entertainment marketing agencies in a Creative Producer and Account manager role, directly serving such high profile clients as WB, Sony, Universal, Paramount, and Amazon Studios.
From brainstorming concepts to figuring out the logistics of executing them on time and on budget - and everything client-related in-between - I'm your man.
