About Nick Haddad

Hey! My name’s Nick and I am an LA-based writer, actor, director, and producer. As a creative producer, I specialize in developing and producing content geared toward Gen Z, YA, and Kids & Family audiences. I\'ve worked on everything from small-scale projects with skeleton crews to big-budget reality competitions with no shortage of manpower. Whether it\'s day-to-day project management, developing content slates, building production pipelines, sitting in the edit bay, or getting my hands dirty on set - I am comfortable wearing just about every hat while on the job. I am YouTube certified in channel growth and content strategy and have developed 100+ original series for digital platforms, racking up hundreds of millions of views while working with some of the biggest names in the influencer space and growing smaller creators along the way. I am well-versed in Notion, Airtable, Asana, Trello, and just about every other project management tool. Although I prefer the old-fashioned way, I am comfortable and competent in using AI tools when the project calls for it. As a producer, I’ve worked with brands such as Netflix, Hulu, McDonald\'s, Spotify, HP, Vidcon, the NFL, Amazon, Canon, Five Star, Invisalign, Sephora, TRUTH, Hello Fresh, Fum, Facebook, Nickelodeon, Awesomeness, Brat, and Activision-Blizzard. As a human being, I’m an active participant in the LA comedy community and have been fortunate enough to perform sketch, improv, and music on stages all around town. I began my training at The Second City in my hometown of Chicago when I was 19 years old and have been performing ever since. I’m a graduate of their conservatory and continued to perform at their Hollywood theatre after moving to Los Angeles. I am currently Head of Production at Poppies Studios. However, in my free time, I work with a wider variety of projects and clients as an independent producer, VO artist, and creative development consultant.
