Mark McDonald
I help great people and purpose-driven organizations tell their own stories, through podcasting, video and digital media. I also advise on marketing/PR campaigns, writing for digital/social/print/broadcast; story-boarding, scripting, production and post-production, voice-coaching and mentoring.
Previously, I held key production and management positions in international media at BBC World TV and Radio News, and with NPR's leading stations in New York City and Washington, DC, where I led the programming and news departments, to inspire diverse teams of writers, producers, reporters, anchors, and technicians.
Senior management experience includes leading key media organizations (70+ full-time staff, 14 direct reports) digital media content, strategic and financial planning and oversight, internal and external communications, reputation management, public relations, branding and marketing, consumer research analysis, talent acquisition and human resource management.
As an international TV producer, I worked across Europe, Canada and South America, and the US. I covered four US Presidential elections, international politics, economics, violent conflict, environment, and education. Extensive studio and location audio and video production and direction, live anchoring + reporting, breaking news, writing for print, audio and video, interviewing, editing, and training.
