Jo Mooney

Art Director

My Work Printer friendly CV

Cutting her teeth in television as the presenter of a 'make and do' programme, Jo knows better than most what it takes to see a project through to completion.

With over 15 years experience in the television industry, Jo has worked for clients including Guinness, Unilever, Audi, Sainsbury's, Honda and many more. Jo's eye for detail and ability to identify unique storytelling moments make her an asset to any project.

Some projects require you to create a bath of black slime (Bo Bruce - 'Hands I Hold' music promo), others have small budgets but big ambitions, and plenty require long hours and level heads. Jo has got the creativity, ability and composure to tackle them all.

Having previously worked with Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ, Jo went solo in 2011 as a creative consultant and freelance art director in the UK. Since then, she has built up connections with many production houses, directors and agencies. Jo enjoys taking projects right through from conception to completion and is always seeking new and exciting challenges to turn her hand to.
