Meet Seth Snyder, Your IT Strategist

IT Director & Technology Strategist driving innovation at the intersection of creativity and technology. Over a decade of experience transforming complex challenges into elegant solutions that empower teams and accelerate growth.

From Creative Vision to Technical Mastery

Since starting his career in production, Seth Snyder has built a reputation for delivering innovative, reliable, and impactful solutions at the intersection of technology and storytelling. His path has taken him from small business IT to national broadcast production, from cutting-edge influencer content to large-scale corporate events, and from traditional media workflows to advanced IT systems that power the next generation of creative work.

Seth's first professional experience was at Terri's Eustis Flower Shop, where he kept the company's IT systems running, scheduled deliveries, and maintained hardware and software. This blend of technology and operations laid the foundation for his ability to keep complex systems functional under pressure.

While earning his degree at the University of Central Florida, Seth worked at WUCF-TV PBS on flagship programs and the award-winning documentary The Groveland Four. As Broadcast Production Facility Checkout Specialist, he ensured that students and faculty had the technical resources to succeed.

His work with Who You Know Productions and Mike Busey marked a creative turning point, producing reality-style and social-forward content for unconventional platforms. This phase sharpened his adaptability, technical precision, and understanding of audience engagement, skills that continue to shape his approach today.

In 2019, Seth joined CNN, supporting Newsroom with Fredricka Whitfield and the Special Projects Unit. He adapted quickly to the demands of live news, editing segments, pitching projects, and managing rundowns in fast-paced, accuracy-critical environments.

Over the years, Seth has supported an extensive range of clients and productions. His portfolio includes work for NBCUniversal, Fox News, CNN, KPMG, Hearst Communications, Dr. Phillips Center, Amazon Prime's The College Tour, various documentary projects, music festivals, the Lake Nona Impact Forum, PwC, Experience Kissimmee, the University of Central Florida, Ligonier Ministries, IMG, GODTV, JM Best, and Disney. These engagements have spanned broadcast, live events, corporate communications, and streaming content, giving him a deep understanding of diverse production and technical requirements.

In 2021, Seth joined Adrenaline Films as Systems Administrator, where he modernized network infrastructure, transitioned to a VOIP system, and maintained high-performance live and post-production systems. By 2023, he was promoted to IT Director, leading the company's technology strategy, integrating AI into workflows, implementing virtual production technologies, and strengthening cybersecurity for both creative and operational teams.

Today, Seth combines his media production background with enterprise-grade IT expertise to provide consulting services for businesses and creative organizations. His unique ability to bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution makes him a trusted partner for clients who need solutions that are innovative, secure, and built to perform in real-world conditions.
