I’m Calum Youngson. Born in Scotland, educated in New York and based in London. I specialise in leading film and motion projects for global brands.

My work sits across brand, film and motion, often at the intersection of creativity, technology and culture. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in environments ranging from global media organisations to independent studios, helping shape creative direction, production capability and the way ideas are brought to life.

I spent over a decade at Bloomberg Media, where I joined at an early stage in the growth of Bloomberg Media Studios. During that time, I contributed to the development of both creative and production infrastructure as the organisation expanded internationally. That experience shaped how I think about long-term craft, scalable creative systems and the realities of delivering work across markets and audiences.

In my current role, I work across a broad range of projects and sectors, balancing creative leadership with hands-on involvement. I’m as comfortable setting direction as I am directing, producing and making, working across live action, camera, motion design, 2D and 3D animation, and emerging AI-assisted workflows.

I’m drawn to work that values clarity, craft and intent, particularly where ideas are complex or evolving. I enjoy collaborating with teams and partners to create thoughtful, well-made work that feels relevant, human and considered.
