Production, events and hospitality/Los Angeles
I make LA easy.
I live here and I produce here - so your shoot, your event, or your week in LA doesn't start from scratch.

About
Hello, I'm Jack.
I'm a British-American producer. Twenty years making unfamiliar places work for people who've just landed - tours in Argentina, travellers in Rio, five years of focus groups and national surveys on election campaigns worldwide. I co-founded the production company Mother's Best Child in London, then landed in LA myself a decade ago to set up its US side, and stayed. I live in Eagle Rock with my wife and our two boys, and I still remember arriving and not knowing how anything worked.
Now I get to be the person I wish I'd had.
- British and American. A London desk gets a peer, not a vendor they have to explain themselves to.
- Spanish and Portuguese. Work with me in either from the first call - plus conversational French.
- Creator-native. I know how creators and social actually work, which service companies don't.
- Media and events. I've founded production companies and run event programmes. Most people have done one or the other.
Recent work · World Cup 2026Food creators, the World Cup, and a lot of lunches.
I partnered with Wise for the World Cup: fly food creators Bite Twice to LA, take them to the matches, eat our way across the city in between. I sat between the brand and the creators and ran the lot - itinerary, locations, shot planning, logistics. Wise got a campaign, the creators got content for their own channels, and the branded videos performed just like their usual posts.

“Working with Jack on the Wise x Bite Twice project was a real pleasure. He brought thoughtful creative ideas and a proactive, organised approach that helped everything run smoothly. He understood how to bring Wise into the boys’ food and travel content in a way that felt natural, while keeping our brand objectives in mind. We really appreciated the care and effort he put into bringing the project to life.”
Past work · Mobile World Congress LATwo hundred startups a year, and one week each to make it count.
4YFN is the startup side of Mobile World Congress. I ran its Los Angeles delegations - more than 200 startups a year, each landing with one week and no real idea how the city fits together. I designed those weeks one by one: investor meetings, pitch competitions, corporate innovation labs, days out, rooftop mixers, the launch and closing parties, with a network I kept warm year-round so the right people were in the room.
200+
startups through the programme every year
100+
investors, incubators and accelerators in the network behind it
Built alongside LA Tourism, LAEDC, AEG and the local organisations that make a week like that work.
