Meet Jonathan Glazier
At the heart of Glazier Media is Jonathan Glazier — a seasoned producer/director with a career spanning four decades across some of the world’s biggest studios, broadcasters, and stages.
Jonathan has directed some of the UK’s most iconic live and entertainment television, including legendary “Audience With…” specials starring Elton John, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, and Bruce Forsyth — not to mention the nation’s beloved glove puppet Sooty. He’s one of the rare directors who can move effortlessly between music legends, royal events, children’s icons, and stadium-scale talent shows.
A standout career highlight: Jonathan was the Executive Producer and Series Director of “Asia’s Got Talent” — the largest “Got Talent” franchise in the world, produced across multiple countries with complex logistics and diverse production demands. His leadership helped deliver world-class entertainment at global scale — a testament to his ability to manage high-pressure, high-stakes productions without ever losing sight of storytelling or spectacle.
His work has been recognised by both Broadcast and Royal Television Society Awards — acknowledgements he values especially because they honour the teams he led and the collaborative success behind every great production.

What Makes Glazier Media Different?
What sets Glazier Media apart is the rare fusion of creative leadership and operational intelligence. Jonathan doesn’t just direct the show — he understands the full pipeline. From idea to pitch, from production to post, and from the edit suite to the boardroom, he has worked at every level of the business.
He has:
• Owned and run a production company
• Created, pitched, sold, and licensed formats
• Directed both studio and live multicamera events
• Led international co-productions
• Worked across genres — entertainment, factual, talent, comedy, and kids
• Actively consulted on the integration of AI into TV workflows
He’s also a trained Python coder and a Mandarin speaker, which is unusual in itself — but especially rare in someone who’s directed a Royal Variety Performance. That gives him the ability to understand and work across cultures, technologies, and formats with equal ease.

A Thought Leader in Media
Jonathan is more than just a practitioner — he’s a respected voice in the industry conversation. With over 11,000 followers on LinkedIn, he writes regularly on the intersection of creativity, technology, and economics in television. He’s also a visible campaigner for freelancers’ rights, particularly in the wake of industry instability and economic contraction.
Jonathan’s writing and public commentary position him not only as a hands-on creative, but also as a strategist and thought leader in the shifting media landscape — someone broadcasters, indies and production teams turn to when they need perspective as well as action.

Global Reach — Local Insight
Jonathan is based in the UK, but works regularly around the world, often for extended periods. He’s as comfortable in a studio in London as he is directing a prime-time series in Manila or coaching a development team in Singapore.
He also offers remote production consulting and format support, ideal for teams looking to cut costs without compromising quality.

The television industry is evolving rapidly — and not always in favour of the people who make it work. Jonathan understands the pressure freelancers and producers are under right now, and Glazier Media is committed to offering practical, creative, and efficient solutions.
If you’re finding it hard to make your show, your format, or your production strategy work in the current climate — Jonathan can help. Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes, a calm hand, and a little technical magic to transform a challenge into an opportunity.
