Executive Producer  ·  Strategic Storyteller  ·  Content Architect

DavidHarte

I've spent 25 years in rooms where the stakes were high and the margin for vagueness was zero — late-night writers' rooms, live network control rooms, agency briefings with clients whose work genuinely matters.

For the past eight years I've been Executive Integrated Producer at Wondros, a mission-driven creative agency founded by Jesse Dylan, overseeing both the creative and production sides of large-scale, multi-channel campaigns for organizations in public health, social justice, science, and technology. Before that, I ran production on national talk shows, streaming originals, and live broadcast events for CBS, NBC, Showtime, Hulu, and TruTV — as a showrunner, a writer, and occasionally the person operating the camera.

That combination — executive strategy and hands-on craft — is what I bring to this work that most strategists or most producers can't.

What I Do

Strategic Storytelling
for Complex Organizations

Many organizations have strong goals, smart people, and important messages — but the work breaks down between strategy and execution.

The strategy may be sound. The brief may be thoughtful. The production team may be capable. But if no one owns the translation layer between the idea and the actual content, the result become

How I Work

Senior Partner,
Both Sides of the Table

My engagements typically begin with narrative — getting clear on what an organization is actually trying to communicate, to whom, and why it matters. From there I build the content architecture: what should exist, how the pieces relate, and what the production path looks like to get there without breaking the strategy along the way.

"Most content problems aren't strategy problems or production problems. They're translation problems."

I work best with organizations that have important things to say and need a senior partner who can think at the level of ideas and stay in the room all the way through execution.

That includes organizations in public health, science, social impact, technology, and mission-driven work.

How It Works in Practice

Turning a Conference Into
a Content Engine

Most organizations treat event coverage as capture: show up, shoot, post. The result is a folder of disconnected assets that never adds up to anything. A better approach is to define what should exist before the cameras roll — and build a system that keeps working long after the event is over.

Core Narrative
What is this event actually saying?
Example: "Blood-based diagnostics are transforming early detection"
Pillar Content
3–5 minute films built around the central themes
Example: "State of the Field" film + 3 thematic cuts
Modular Interviews
Structured for reuse across voices and platforms
Example: 6 core questions across all speakers
Derived Content
Short-form, social, and extended assets
Example: 20–30 clips, LinkedIn series
Content Flow
A 6–8 week release system that keeps the work alive
Example: Weekly drops post-event

One event becomes a structured content engine —
not a collection of things that happened.
