As well as being an accomplished commercial editor, Glenn’s diverse background has seen him edit across a wide range of different platforms and media, including broadcast promos, longform content and most recently, diving into the podcast space. In conjunction with SundanceTV and Amanda Knox, he co-produced and edited season 2 of the true crime podcast series, The Truth About True Crime with Amanda Knox, which is set to launch February 27th 2019 on SundanceTV.
Producing and editing a podcast series is an extension of my existing storytelling skills.
Commenting on the move, Glenn says: “Everywhere I look, companies are diversifying and transitioning to a multipurpose approach to stay ahead of the game. Traditional advertising is increasingly trying to create content that connects with viewers in a more emotive and meaningful way. As well as the opportunity to connect with a broader client base, Chimney’s forward-thinking attitude really appealed to me. As a global company with a vast network of 50+ directors worldwide, Chimney is invested in different streams of content creation and is serious about adapting to the future. Adding my expertise is part of the bigger picture of what Chimney wants to achieve and I’m looking forward to helping the company grow.”
