Olá! Bem vindo!
I'm Viviana Cabral, a British-Brazilian Production Manager with over ten years of experience in the creative industries. I began my career at the BBC, working in Factual Development before moving on to 'The One Show'. After a lucky start at the BBC, I moved on to working in feature films and High-End Television (HETV), where my love for filmmaking solidified and defined my career in production.
After features and many years of very long workdays, I sought a better work-life balance and transitioned into advertising. In that world, I've helped produce content for major brands like, Nike, Pepsi, Google, and more. This shift has allowed me to find a perfect balance, enabling me to assist producers in achieving their best results while enjoying the work.
As a professional, I bring a sense of calmness even to the most challenging jobs. Producers have relied on me to keep the ship sailing through choppy waters as they navigate the various client/agency hurdles a project brings. I take great pride in earning their trust. I like to believe that I offer the best of both worlds—British efficiency and Brazilian positivity.
So, to sum it up, I'm really enthusiastic about finding new projects and help make our industry more inclusive! If you have any ideas or briefs you want to chat about, please reach out. I look forward to connect and see what we can create together.
