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.
