Media Programming Directors

I wake up in the morning in my apartment in Berlin. I roll over to pick up my phone and scroll through the emails that came in overnight; I work for a global company, so part of my team works nine time zones away. Once I've taken care of any urgent matters, I travel to the office by tram. For the rest of the day, I alternate between writing emails and participating in meetings. Every few weeks, I stand in front of my colleagues and share the work we're doing for creators.

I start the day by checking emails that have come in from all the people I work with in different time zones. I then usually review and update my micro and macro schedules, which include when major milestones for my various projects are at (I can have anywhere from 4-8 projects going on at a time), and then start prioritizing the tasks at hand for the day. I usually then spend most of my day gathering materials from producers, and start prepping those materials for national distribution.
