Oliver Johnson

Image Researcher

Oliver has over seven years experience as a visual researcher and treatment writer/designer for TVC's, mood films, documentaries and pitch decks/director's treatments.

As well as sourcing footage, Oliver also has extensive experience licensing content from large stock libraries to independent content creators, with an increasing focus on UGC content.

He has worked on numerous commercial projects for clients including Adidas, Amstel, BBC, Bentley, Boots, British Airways, BT, Captain Morgan, Disney, Formula E, Google, Mini, M&S, Lloyds, Nike, Samsung, Speedo, TikTok and The F.A.

Having worked as a script reader, writing coverage for both Working Title and Tiger Aspect, and writing and directing a number of short films, has shaped an understanding of what really makes a story come to life.
