French-Brazilian Thomas Benski came to the UK to study art, Film and Media at Goldsmith’s college with a family background deeply rooted in the film industry in France. He started producing short form content working with directors such as Andrew Gilman, Emma, Justin Kerrigan and Dave Tucker. Thomas has produced, associate and executive produced over 60 music videos and commercials, a dozen short films, 4 TV series, 2 feature films and a number of interactive/Cross platform projects.

Thomas decided to set up Pulse Films as a unique cross platform production company that integrates various disciplines creating scalable content across different platforms. In its short yet intense professional life Pulse has grown into becoming a respected player in the converging media industry. Its creative teams (directors, executive producers and writers) have received critical and industry recognition and Pulse’s strengths are a result of the out standing quality of its people as well as his strategic approach to content.

Thomas is responsible for the strategic and creative development of Pulse, constantly growing its reach and adapting its business model to the fragmented media landscape.

I’m super grateful for being involved in Wieden+Kennedy’s Platform project. I don’t think anybody really knows what to expect from Platform. Here’s the description:

What is Platform?
Platform is a future creative talent platform, which will hire, teach and work with a diverse mix of people, from around the world. We will recruit talent from the arts, sciences and technology backgrounds who will work together to solve business problems through creative solutions. You will learn by doing which means being involved in everything from building prototypes, enabling and assisting in research development to curating your very own event space and programme.

It’s gonna be exciting to see how this project develops and whether it grows, flourishes and produces work different to W&K’s current output. I’ve limited experience working with ad agencies and on the whole I’d be relieved to see the Platform students stretching the structure of the agency and blurring the boundaries between clients, briefs, pitches and ownership.

At some point I’m gonna have to think about what to teach/present to the students.. My first iPhone tip would be to wear skinny jeans. Stops thieves stealing your precious development device.

Thanks x
