I'm Maxim, a New York City-based writer and producer with over a decade of professional experience.

As my job titles suggest, my two passions are media production and writing. Initially, I used to work more heavily on video projects, but when the pandemic hit, I focused much more on article writing, for obvious reasons. When the pandemic died down, I got back into video production. Now I balance both types of work. I find it hard to choose if I like video production or article writing better. Video production will always be my first love, and collaborating with others to put the very best content on-screen is incredibly fulfilling for me. Yet articles are always fun to put together, and I find great joy in researching, reframing and realigning the world around me in written form. Basically, both types of content creation provide me with the creative challenges that I yearn for but in different ways!

I've accumulated numerous credits for my work on music videos, magazines, entertainment websites, TV commercials and promotional media. These projects have been for high-profile clients, such as multi-platinum-album-selling musicians, eighty-year-old magazines with a global reach, national retailers and Fortune 500 companies. I approach each project with the same enthusiasm and always do everything I can to make a video or article stand out and shine. This applies to high-budget TV commercials, 300-word articles and everything in between. Essentially, I try to apply the old actors’ adage “There are no small roles, only small actors” to my work. (Just so we’re clear, I’m not an actor. I have appeared in a few TV commercials, but that was mostly due to the need to pad out a shot with extra individuals.) Therefore, I apply the best of my expertise to any project that I agree to take on, big or small.

My ideas, written content and production management skills have also got quantifiable results. My music videos have received more than 12 million views online and secured worldwide television distribution. My articles have made clients climb to the top of Google searches. My TV commercials have boosted a company's sales by as much as 40%. Also, on the freelancing site Upwork, I enjoy a Top Rated Plus rating with a 100% Job Success Score, putting me within the top 3% of talent on the platform.

I'm a natural-born Brit but can write in US English, thanks to being based in America and writing extensively for American clients for the last eight years. Nowadays, I’m more adept with American English than British English, but I’m sure I can switch back, should the project require it.

To sum it all up, I've got media and written content covered. I always relish each new project and challenge. If you think I’d be a match for your next project, then get in touch!
