Stuart Heimdal

Here is a quick overview of my recent career:

Stuart is an award-winning executive and manager with over 20 years’ experience in live broadcasting and in producing media for film & television, corporate audio & video, university training and courses, and interactive media.

As Executive Producer of WGU Studios (Western Governors University), he created and grew a production studio which creates over 50 unique audio & video projects each month. He manages 13 professionals to produce coursework videos, marketing videos, audio podcasts, and live broadcasts & events.

• Live events & Broadcasts – LinkedIn Live, FaceBook Live, Vimeo, YouTube, WebEx & Cisco Meetings, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams broadcasts (for the Marketing, Alumni, and Internal Communications teams)
• Coursework video production for the College of Business (Master’s Degree program), Leavitt School of Health (SIM lab and undergraduate courses), School of Education (undergraduate courses), and College of IT (Cybersecurity courses and YouTube channel)
• Video production for the Marketing department (Instagram, FaceBook, YouTube, and TikTok posts)
• All podcasts for the WGU Alumni, Leavitt School of Health, School of Education, College of IT, and College of Business (over 200 podcasts per year)
• Because of the professional quality and innovative workflows implemented by Stuart, Western Governors University now creates its own content (rather than outsourcing this work) and saves over $3MM each year. The College of IT (Cybersecurity) has reported an increase in enrollment of 8% as a direct result of the LinkedIn Live and YouTube broadcasts produced by Stuart’s team.
• He has mentored over 15 professional media producers (at WGU) to achieve excellence by creating a positive team culture resulting in high-performance and over 200% work output capability.
• Stuart teaches Film & Television Production courses at Salt Lake Community College as an Adjunct Professor. He consistently receives top reviews and currently has a 4.7 (out of 5) rating at ratemyprofessors.com.
• Stuart holds a terminal degree (MFA) in Film & Television Production from Savannah College of Art & Design, and a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media from Utah Valley University.
• Stuart is looking for a new opportunity to use his experience at WGU Studios and in film & television production. His vast experience in live broadcasting and film can expand your marketing and social media footprint as well as innovate workflows and minimize budget outsourcing needs.
