MISSION

Assistant experienced in Television, Talent & Content Distribution, seeking

CEO/Agent's Assistant role.

PROFILE

I recently completed a temp assignment recruiting Sports Broadcast

players for the NFL over the holidays and am eager to return to Talent

Management. Being an assistant to creative executives in both Television

and Talent has given me the ability to interact with people at all levels

efficiently and effectively. I have provided reliable support to

executives by staying on top of new developments and addressing clients

needs as quickly as possible. My effectiveness has been gauged by my

ability to handle a high call volume on the desk, while keeping the office

running smoothly and finding solutions professionally.

My last position was assisting a busy TV Agent working in Alternative

Television at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). While temping for the agent, I

received a hands-on education on the business of talent management and the

flow of casting and negotiations. As with providing support to executives

managing iconic brands at VIACOM, working with a top agency to develop

creative content was very rewarding. It is truly an exciting time to be in

the entertainent industry, as new talent rises and the landscape of

partnerships in TV/Film development and distribution evolve.

At VIACOM, my main role was working as an assistant to the Senior

Director of Media Planning whom oversaw content distribution for 12 TV

networks. He managed hallmark properties including the "Jersey Shore", "The

Daily Show with Jon Stewart", "iCarly", "Iron Man" and "South Park." I was

responsible for daily administrative operations, phone and calendar

management in addition to acting as a liaise on multiple projects between

television networks and distributors such as Netflix, Hulu, iTunes and

XBOX. Meeting tight premiere dates required "packaging" product between

multiple teams from media planners to producers effectively to ensure

precise content launch dates.

I believe my experience with executives in fast-paced settings, and

balancing priorities would make me a strong asset to the CEO and their

clients. I look forward to the chance to be part of your team and

contribute my organizational and communication skills to your success.

Best,

Justin DeFreece
