Philip Anker has been my personal creative assistant for over two years, from March 2022 to June 2024, and during that time he has proven to be an indispensable asset to my professional work. His responsibilities included managing the creative and structural workflow in collaboration with my producers, ensuring a smooth and efficient process and allowing me to focus on delivering high-quality projects.

Philip has an exceptional ability to conduct thorough research and contribute to idea development, often bringing new perspectives and innovative solutions to the table. But his role has not been confined to the office—he has maintained excellent client communication, traveled internationally, and provided excellent production assistance on a large number of foreign shoots with premium clients. His flexibility and dedication to ensuring the success of every production have been remarkable.

In addition to his organizational skills, Philip has a strong talent for developing visually compelling and creatively inspiring ideas and presentations. His ability to maintain a complete overview of the production, combined with his friendly and positive personality, enables him to lead and motivate teams effectively. He has a natural ability to create trust and encourage collaboration, ensuring that all team members work toward the same high standards and shared goals. His leadership fosters a sense of unity and drive throughout the process, consistently resulting in excellent outcomes.

Philip’s efforts have significantly elevated the quality of my work as both a director and producer and have had a substantial impact on the success of my projects. His proactive work ethic, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for delivering quality have left a lasting positive impression.

Our two-year collaboration was originally planned as a fixed-term agreement, but I would have extended his employment without hesitation if it had aligned with Philip’s career goals and ambitions.

I give Philip my highest recommendation and am confident that his skills, dedication, and personality will be a tremendous asset to any organization or team he becomes part of. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like further information about his qualifications and contributions.
