The brief

The Liz Truss Show needed a clear identity, a repeatable programme format and a publishing system capable of supporting long-form interviews, short-form content and regular releases across six platforms.

The starting situation

Political media is crowded and the news cycle moves quickly. The show had to film senior political and media figures, hold a broadcast-standard look and turn each recording around fast enough to stay current — with long-form interviews that carried depth and short clips built to travel in social feeds.

Our role

Charlie helped shape the show as a repeatable weekly programme within the wider production team. Each filming cycle was planned around the long-form release, promotional trailer, short-form clips and platform-specific publishing.

How the work operated

The show needed a system that could turn each filming session into a week of publishable material without losing quality or consistency.

Role and attribution

Charlie’s work brought together programme development, identity and original theme music, filming, post-production and recurring publishing. This founder-delivered experience was contracted personally as a sole trader and formed part of the wider programme team.
