Jill Montgomery and Four Leaf Productions provides broadcast clients the unique combination of teaching the fundamental and necessary skills related to presentation and preparation, along with firsthand, relevant experience and knowledge of the diverse skills needed to work in today’s challenging and competitive market.
– Tim Scanlan, Vice President, Sports Broadcast, Octagon Agency
As an NFL player transitioning into the Network TV media world, Jill helped me so much. She has taught me fundamentals on how to engage and entertain the people that already know the game, while also keeping the people who don’t know sports involved & interested in learning more. For athletes, “player and coach” is such an important relationship. To have someone you respect, and also has a track record on both sides of professional sports is crucial. Jill is someone that has the first hand perspective on what it’s like to go from playing the sport, to broadcasting it on TV. Jill imparts all of her wisdom, tips and knowledge to seamlessly make that transition as smooth as possible. From where I started a year ago, to now, I couldn’t imagine making this jump without Jill’s guidance.

Jill is a truly gifted “talent whisperer.” Whenever I have a client that has just come fresh off the playing field and is transitioning into media, I send them over to work with Jill. Not only does she turn them into confident on-air personalities, she teaches them how to be prepared, concise and articulate on air. To date, she’s turned two of my biggest named football analysts into Emmy nominees and I’m sure there will be many more to come.

She gets it. It’s as simple as that. Having known Jill for more than 10 years, she’s always struck me as someone who understands the big picture.

Her knowledge and experience develops broadcasters at the same time, becoming a huge advocate for them. Relationships with Jill will last a lifetime.

The most important thing for any broadcaster is to receive specific and honest feedback to grow their craft. In a business full of empty compliments, Jill Montgomery embraces the mantra that if a broadcast is “good enough,” it isn’t. She develops talent to be more polished on camera, as well as developing their social media brand, and overall confidence. I recommend working with Jill for anyone who wants to take their career seriously and get to the next level.
