Ciaran “CJ” Gilligan

Creative strategist, writer and AI-assisted creative producer.

I run three connected creative studios from Leeds: launch messaging and promotional video through CJ Promo Factory, story development through Future Pulp Studio, and original music and music writing through CJ Song Factory.

Human judgement across every part of the work.

My work sits where creative strategy, writing, storytelling and new production tools meet. AI helps me move faster, explore more versions and produce work that would once have required a much larger team. The concepts, writing, positioning and final decisions remain mine.

This site is the central home for my professional creative work and the three studio identities I use to keep each kind of offer clear.

Three different doors into the work.
