Athene Parker will be interviewing Jody Allison on May 30th, talking about ‘A Life of Two Halves: ‘Mapping My Mental Health Journey’
Being the daughter of a famous '70s commercial director, Jody Allison has quite literally grown up in advertising. She has since been in the industry in her own right for over 30 years. A woman whose open attitude to the challenges she has faced through her life has been a beacon of light for many. Her previous incarnations include Head of Broadcast film and creative production at RKCR/YR for almost a decade, joint HTV at St Luke’s and a career as a prolific freelance producer both in Agency and in Production - Now this wonderful woman, a founding partner of Heads Up Production (with long time friend and business partner Tim Page) has successfully completed her latest 10 rounds with life beating breast cancer and is currently waiting for an all clear from her yearly check up.
Jody and Tim set up Heads Up Production in 2017, spotting an increased demand from Clients to be closer to their production output. Heads Up primarily works directly with Brands, but often helps smaller agencies and production companies facilitate their own productions with brands.
