About Ula Jurecka:
As a coordinator, my commitment lies in supporting the team to perform at their best. My work approach is compassion-led and person-first. I am confident in building trust across teams, fostering a happy and safe work environment. Recently, I worked as a coordinator at Wildbrain Ltd., which is a children’s entertainment company specializing in television shows. In this role, I oversaw the scripting process, from scheduling writing room sessions to facilitating communication between creative executives, brands (such as Mattel and Spin Master), and networks (Netflix and Apple). My attention to detail, organizational skills, and proactive problem-solving were essential. Additionally, I collaborated on creating promotional materials, working closely with the marketing team to provide copy. My comfort with social media, coupled with my ability to quickly learn other digital platforms, ensures I’ll seamlessly adapt to your team.
In addition to coordinating, I have written on children's shows like the award nominated 'Strawberry Shortcake' and ‘Jonny Jetboy.’ Before jumping into kid's content, I wrote for youtube's 'The Talko' (now TheThings Celebrity) where my videos garnered over 3 million views. I love storytelling, and when I'm not creating stories of my own, I'm consuming them. The only thing I may like more than stories is animals. I hope that in some parallel universe, I'm working in conservation or have a hobby farm.
