Jeremy Wiese
Owner/Director

My journey began with a simple desire: to create compelling video content that inspires audiences.

After completing a degree in film production, I worked in news, random freelance jobs, and even an NBC reality show. Still green in my career, I found a media producer position in the power industry, launching a long and rewarding career producing content and developing solutions for marketing, training, and safety.

As I spent time in the business world, I began to see barriers I needed to take on so the business could realize the full benefit of creative work.

One day, I came across a quote from Steve Jobs that resonated with me:

"You know who the best managers are? They're the great individual contributors, who never ever want to be a manager, but decide they have to be manager because no one else is going to be able to do as good a job as them."

I didn’t set out to climb the corporate ladder. My rise was the natural result of seeing problems to be solved and seizing the opportunity to solve them. It's not because I am some kind of guru. Rather, I paid my dues as the individual creative and then consistently led from that experience as I balanced vision with what was realistic given resources.

Though my undergraduate degree and core skill is production, my business experience came from "the school of hard knox" and the invaluable mentorship of leaders who have built and run successful companies.

For over 15 years I've provided creative services for utility and infrastructure construction companies.

Key entities included:

  1. Investor-owned utilities

  2. Contractor/Construction Companies

  3. Co-ops & Associations

  4. Tool Manufacturers

  5. OSHA Electric Transmission & Distribution Partnership (ET&D)

  6. Government grants

  7. Foreign infrastructure investment groups

I'm driven by a strong conviction to improve the trades and get craft-skilled workers home safely to their families at the end of the day.

Though I am highly experienced in the utility and construction industry, as the owner of Grid Creative, I am well-positioned to solve creative challenges for any company making a positive impact and improving people's lives.
