Jamie Hughes joins ETC

Producer Jamie Hughes has taken up official residence at Electric Theatre Collective, following a four month freelance stint at the award-winning studio. 

Though short, his time at Electric so far has been very, very sweet, spent at the helm of some of the studio’s most ambitious VFX projects, including Netflix’s newly released What Next? directed by Show Yanagisawa. 

Like many of us, Hughes began his career as a Runner. Starting out at MPC, he worked his way up to Producer, a role he held long after the studio merged with The Mill in 2022. During this time, he worked on campaigns with leading directorial talent including thirtytwo, The Sacred Egg and Vedran Rupic, gaining his first producer credit with the latter on a piggy bank campaign for Confused.com: “Seeing the first advert I ever produced on TV was a tough one to top.”

Asked what he was looking forward to about his new role, Hughes said: “More of the same. Electric produces some of the best work coming out of the industry, and I’m chuffed to be a part of it.”

Head of Production, Matt Williams, adds: “Jamie brought so much to the studio in 2025. Talent, an innate calmness under pressure – and some blinding karaoke renditions at the production night out. He’s exactly the energy we thrive off in the studio and I couldn’t be happier to welcome him on a more permanent basis.”
