“This IS an incredible story from two incredibly talented, forthright and courageous women: the storyteller Brianna shares BREAKTHROUGH MUST KNOW information for anyone facing a mastectomy with her impeccable health reporting skills and journalism chops equally matched by childhood footage and her very personal heartwarming/heart wrenching story. Jamie Putman shows how her chops as a breathtaking video storyteller who engages us while simultaneously educating and moving us intellectually and spiritually. These two ladies - in front of the camera and behind the camera - met at work. They had the courage to become friends and amazing colleagues and create such stunning work! Thank you”

Account Director at GCI Health

“Jamie is a master of her craft and conduit for positive client and team experiences. From the moment Jamie showed up to our first project together we could already tell she was thinking five steps ahead on how we could shatter client expectations. She is one of the easiest people to work with, as she expertly walks the line between “big ideas” and “realistic execution” while being incredibly personable. The first time I would ask her to do something, she’d come back as if she had already done it twice – which is such an appreciated level of poise in an industry where a project’s needs can shift by the day, if not the hour. By the end of our time together team members and clients alike were singing her praises; and, of course, her end product radiated skillful vision, direction and effort. Jamie is the absolute best!”

“I had the privilege of working with Jamie on a project for Cervical Cancer Campaign. Her vision and direction for the shoot was spot on. She understood how to manage the progress of the shoot, the client and communication her vision to her productions crew. When she calls I don’t hesitate to take on the project because I know it will be a smooth and high creative shoot.”

Founder of Keep Firing Media

“I had the pleasure of partnering with Jamie on a filming for a video project, telling the amazing stories of two cancer survivors.

Jamie was kind, creative, efficient, and effective in her leadership of this shoot. She was clear in her direction, whilst also remaining open to my feedback and creative ideas.

Given the sensitivity of the subject matter, Jamie struck the right balance of focus and compassion. It was clear that our video subjects felt immediately comfortable with her in sharing their touching stories.

I look forward to many more opportunities to connect and partner with such a great talent. She is an undeniable asset.”

Do yourself a favor and work with Jamie Putman. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We were connected by a mutual colleague because of Jamie's background in health, in particular women's health, which is vital for my podcast Women Like Sex. Within moments of meeting her, I sensed that she's a consummate collaborator, and I was right.

Jamie produces social media reels for WLS (utilizing just a fraction of her wide skills), and I rely not only on her technical expertise, but also her ear as a producer, director and interviewer. She is fast, detail-oriented and thoughtful.

She understands client needs, suggests things I didn't even know I needed and makes my work so much easier with her accuracy and speed. I feel like there's nothing a client could throw her way that she wouldn't complete with grace and efficiency, improving their vision and way along the way.

As a journalist and producer, I've worked with/for numerous producer-directors and can genuinely say that Jamie stands out.
