About

Jeremy Sherlick

I am a four-time Emmy award-winning producer and digital strategist who helps organizations tell stories that reach global audiences.

Currently, I am the Director of Video at the Council on Foreign Relations, where I oversee all phases of video production, including strategic planning, design, and workflow management. In 2025 alone, my team has has published close to 550 videos across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, reaching millions of viewers and building an audience of over 310,000 YouTube subscribers. My work focuses on crafting fact-based video products that incorporate strong narrative development, visual design, cinematography, and motion graphics under tight deadlines while mentoring a diverse team of digital storytellers, on-screen talent, expert voices, and freelance producers.

Previously, as Deputy Director of Multimedia at CFR, I supervised the creative direction and production of award-winning long-form websites, digital video series, and audio franchises. I built the organization’s podcast strategy from the ground up, establishing partnerships with Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, and Pushkin that resulted in millions of downloads per year and repeated features on Apple Podcasts’ “Shows We Love” and “New and Noteworthy.”

My work has been recognized with more than 25 journalism awards for innovation in storytelling, including four Emmy awards, Overseas Press Club awards, Webby awards, Sigma Delta Chi journalism awards, and ONA awards.

Before joining CFR, I worked across the media industry since 2002, including stints at Pixar and Miramax, with experience spanning feature-length documentaries, animation projects, special effects, and television. I’ve spoken at conferences including ONA and Docs in Progress.

My approach to digital media combines narrative storytelling with strategic audience development. I’m passionate about creating immersive experiences that spark curiosity and using data and technology to help organizations connect with audiences around the world.

I have my MFA in film production from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts and BA in anthropology from the University at Buffalo. I’m based in the Washington D.C. area, and I draw inspiration for my work by spending time outdoors and exploring new places, cultures, and institutions of art and learning through travel.
