What people say
I found John to be creative, resourceful and committed. He was very knowledgeable and able to take my ideas, adapt them and bring them to life. I was delighted with the final results.

If you’re looking for a highly professional, slick and inspiring producer, editor and social media whizz – then John McDiarmid at Telt Media is your man. From a tiny seed of an idea to three successful podcast series later, John has offered wisdom, advice, ideas and achievable goals.
