ABOUT | Dan Trotter | Senior Production Advisor

Found At Sea. Now it’s just me. All the expertise. Just leaner.

Found At Sea has evolved to a simple principle: clients deserve to understand what they're paying for — and to have someone experienced enough in their corner to make sure they get it.

Over more than two decades working across broadcast television, national TVC campaigns, brand content, documentary production and corporate communications, I've operated on both sides of production. I've briefed agencies and I've been briefed by them. I've built budgets and I've scrutinised them. I've directed productions and I've overseen them on behalf of clients who needed to know the money was being spent well.

That breadth of experience is what Found At Sea now offers — not as a production company, but as independent senior production intelligence applied directly to your project.

I work with Marketing Directors, Brand Leads and Communications teams who are commissioning significant content and need someone with deep production fluency on their side. Someone who can interrogate a brief before it goes to market, challenge a budget before it's approved, and stay across a production without adding to its complexity.

No overheads. No crew. No conflicting commercial interests.

Just judgment — applied at the point where it has the most impact.
