BOOK THE STRIKING MEDIA TEAM

Striking Media is led by Brit Helen Saks. Helen started her career at BBC Television Center in London where she worked in comedy and entertainment programming. Setting her sights on “This Morning” – the daily magazine show – she got her break as a researcher and then a producer. It was the human interest stories that really sparked her imagination – the ordinary people who had lived extraordinary lives – and this set the foundation for the storytelling work that Helen and Striking Media thrive on today.

Collectively, the Striking Media crew have worked for brands such as Lego, Boy Scouts of America, Legal & General, Lululemon, and the US Army. Our experience is far reaching across multiple continents. We bring our talents to your projects – to lift up your brand – and to make a difference.

The Crew

Helen Saks set up Striking Media with the vision of using her 25 years of production experience to support businesses with strategic and impactful communications. She is proud to collaborate with the best creative talent in DC/ NOVA to create truly meaningful content that gets results.

HELEN

Helen’s passion for storytelling began with a love of autobiographies and led her to work on the British version of “Good Morning America.” Her proudest moment came when Lauren Bacall personally thanked her for her favorite interview of her UK tour!
