"John, (Reg), is the most experienced producer I’ve worked with in Australia. If you want the best job at the best price, delivered on time with a minimum of fuss, then John is your man. "
– Nick Souter, ex-Chairman and National Creative Director, Leo Burnett
"Always the calming influence at every stress-point in the production process. Without fear or favour, 'Reg' gets shit done – and that simply makes him one of the very best."
– Wayne Maloney, ECD – OddfellowsDentsu
"John’s experience and unshakeable calmness helps make the impossible possible, which results in great production."
– Nicki Mortimer, Creative/Writer – Insight Au
I’ve been producing TV, Cinema, Radio and Social Media spots for a long time. At last count, I’ve worked on over 120 major Australian brands. I was fortunate enough to start work at the mighty Mojo in their heyday. There was no better training ground for a career in production in Australia. I learned a simple discipline: make sure every detail of the project is on brief, meets the budget and final deadlines.
Armed with this simple philosophy, I struck out on my own. Since then, I've worked as the freelance 'Agency Producer' for most Sydney Agencies and have developed great relationships with Production Companies and Post-Production Companies, Recording Studios, Casting Directs, etc. This experience is my 'X' factor! It brings a wealth of knowledge that enables me to engage the best resources for the budget, ensure the project goes smoothly and make sure everyone's happy with the final result.
I’m John Ruggiero.
But everyone calls me ‘Reg’.
"When introduced to Reg by a colleague he was described as 'the most organised man in the world' – he may well be just that."
