Hi ! My name is Martin Franklin. I spent 20 years developing digital innovation in the UK culture sector and then established East Coast Studio in 2018, based in sunny Brisbane, Australia.
I see East Coast Studio as a strategic content studio that produces high quality media outputs to serve as strands within a business strategy. Individual creative digital services, include notable podcast productions, YouTube channel management, video editing and post-production, Mailchimp strategy and delivery and online courses.
In the early 2000’s I founded and managed the innovative digital arts lab, Digital Media Centre for a decade in the UK. The department hosted visiting artists and devised educational projects, international conferences and commissioned digital artworks. Alongside this, I devised and managed a major Arts Council England funded programme to develop and deliver live streamed performances from across South East England.
Working as a Digital Producer within Marketing/Communications teams, I spent many years with major UK venues and organisations. Among these were London Philharmonic Orchestra, The Place, London Contemporary Dance School plus many businesses and individuals in the worlds of technology, business, learning, holistic health, finance and real estate.
I now produce one off freelance projects for individuals and small businesses and have a cohort of sole traders who I support with digital production and growth strategy on an ongoing retainer basis.
They all put their trust and confidence in me and I hope you will too.
