According To Michelle Radio w/ Special Guest Entrepreneur and Film/TV/Play Producer Gwendolyn Jackson
For over 20 years, Gwendolyn has been an entrepreneur who has moved at her own pace and with integrity in everything that she does, which includes managing film and television projects or building brands with the audience in mind. After receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and minor in Marketing and C+ Basic from Florida State University, Gwendolyn used her stellar communication and marketing skills as a Marketing Associate at INVESCO, a Fortune 500 Private Wealth Management and Financial Management Company in Atlanta.
Gwendolyn also brings her varied advertising experience to any team having worked at Matlock and Associates, a boutique advertising agency. At Matlock, some of her projects included writing and producing radio commercials for their client, Publix Supermarkets as well as writing ad copy for Revlon’s Creme of Nature. She then joined the team at Ambrosi Advertising (A Schawk Company) working as a copywriter then traffic coordinator then design team manager for client
accounts such as Home Depot and The May Company.
When she started her own marketing and production company, Jack’s Entertainment Group in 1999, she worked on projects for mostly corporate clients including AT&T, Southern Company, Red Roof Inns and Sony Music. The goal of her company was to bring a large corporation mentality to small companies in an effort to help them grow. She developed her own philosophy and program called Core Marketing to help clients understand the process of building a brand. Gwendolyn recognized a void in her hometown of Atlanta, so she turned her focus to video production and soon became the second most sought after music video production company having worked with artists such as TLC, Indigo Girls and Xscape.
After taking a six year break to become a mother, Gwendolyn created LMG Productions (named after her children) and has completed projects for various clients including Silver Lining Entertainment, Atlanta Sightseeing Tours, Ballethnic and MoJah Dance Studios. Her television projects include the pilot and 6 episodes for a sitcom series, Whatcha’ Cookin’ for Black Television Network and three made for television holiday specials titled Holiday Love. Her feature film credits include the 2017 faith based movie, A Question of Faith, starring Richard T. Jones and Kim Fields. She recently produced her first stage play that was presented at Synchronicity Theatre in Atlanta and received many favorable reviews.
As a line producer and production manager, Gwendolyn offers her extensive amount of resources and relationships as well as her well-versed budget skills to assist with projects ranging from television content development to pre- and postproduction. To date, she has created budgets up to $6M using the industry standard, Movie Magic. She is a former board member of WIFTA (Women In Film Atlanta) and is a member of Georgia Production Partnership.
