Siobhan Mulholland’s Summary

Passionate about content, audiences and purposeful interactive experiences.

I am a BAFTA award-winning, Prix Jeunesse International award-winning and Digital EMMY nominated Development Producer (BBC), turned Commissioning Editor (ITV), turned Creative Director at multiplatform content agency, dubz.tv

Having commissioned and produced many engaging digital and interactive experiences around popular TV brands for both the BBC and ITV, my expertise recently led to being invited to judge the following:

- Interactive category, Children’s BAFTA awards in 2008
- Interactive Innovation category, BAFTA Craft awards in 2009

Crossing over from a traditional broadcast background to a boutique, multiplatform content agency is really exciting for me; a true mash-up of people and skills, creating endless possibilities and fresh thinking.
