Unisono announced the launch of its TV and Radio Division. The division is to be headed by Julia Klein who has over 25 years of experience in the film and television industry.
At Unisono, Julia will be heading the regional Television and Radio Division, not only to provide international standards to clients and extend Unisono operations into the gulf, but also to grow Bahrain’s TV industry and, in alignment with Unisono’s education focussed CSR programme, to help develop young talent in Bahrain.
Julia’s home country is South Africa where she began her career in feature films working with the likes of Morgan Freeman and Dean Semler (Dances with wolves). Upon the advent of democracy in South Africa and the increased opportunities for international and commercial production companies in 1994, Julia was able to pursue her vision of working with International Directors and Producers to produce world class work and award winning films and commercials.
Julia has been in Bahrain since 2010 and has already produced successful commercials and corporate videos for a range of clients including Standard Chartered, Bapco, and Movenpick.
“Unisono is focussed on delivering international standard work that makes a difference, a vision that is fully aligned with my philosophy. We have exclusive access to top international award winning directors, including Danny Boyle, Miles Goodall, Ian Campbell and Graham Rose. Our focus is not just to bring great international talent into Bahrain but also to develop world-class talent here in Bahrain and this will form a key part of our offer. It is truly an exciting time to be in our industry here in Bahrain,” Julia said.
“The integration of the TV and Radio Division is integral to the philosophy of delivering media neutral, brand centric communications. Television is becoming ever more accessible to clients and their audiences – TV is everywhere now, on broadcast, on the web and even mobile phones. The notion that TV ads are still too expensive for the average company is outdated and companies are able to do something very impactful and creative for a value-adding cost. Being able to vision, produce and direct inspiring content that helps build our clients’ brands is a great opportunity to extend our vision of positive transformation through communication. We are delighted to have Julia onboard to launch this Division. Her passion and wealth of knowledge will be an invaluable addition to Unisono,” Unisono CEO Amy Morgan added.
