Hello,
I’ve been working and freelancing as a business branding developer / Project Manager on and off for
the last 20 years.
Currently been recuperating from an injury sustained while working the ESPN Winter Xgames in
Aspen Colorado as a chef, this downtime has allowing me to test and perfect the Entrepreneurial
process. My background and passions reside in marketing, branding, digital communications,
project management, analytics and finance. I’ve observed the job market rebounding re sustaining itself
and is in dyer need of my assistance. My wife and I are looking to Make Los Angeles our home and
build a house. I was excited to see your current open position as a Creative Executive. My
qualifications and raw natural talent are unmatched and meet or exceed your requirements. I’m
currently looking for a new endeavor working with a great cutting edge, growing environmentally
conscious Creative driven Entity, an out of the box think tank managing and handling a wide variety of
global services, with a market value salary + insurance and incentives. There’s not a lot of well
balanced talent out there and I’ve been a tenacious disciplined go getting entrepreneur my whole life.
(Working my way to the top in many creative cost and time sensitive endeavors). I just turned 44 and
have been working in this industry for at least 20 years and have seen it all from success to folly - My
positions were to offer successful fiscal, strategic, creative, and operational leadership in uniquely
challenging situations. I’ve worked for a variety of companies from Art and Engineering to Culinary
and Agriculture. Throughout my career I’ve had the great privilege to work in many mediums for a
variety of businesses, in varied levels of development. Including Print, UI, direct mailing, social
networking, 2d and 3d Animation, Video, Audio, Broadcasting, B2B, B2C, Prototyping and
Engineering. I’ve also worked for many productive large companies such as Sony, SGI, E-Trade,
Apple, Adobe, NIA Creative, Pixar, and AT&T, on a variety of projects throughout Northern and
Southern California. Including IPO prospectuses, trade-shows, road show presentations, branding,
corporate collateral, web site design, Flash web intros, Logo’s, and Flash trade show presentations.
Allowing me to assist, oversee and lead in many time sensitive projects. Also, during my past positions
as Executive Creative Director, I managed and mentored teams of designers, editors, engineers,
sales staff and writers, while attending many board room and investor meetings. Responsibilities
included expanding territories and generating additional revenue streams through skillful identification
of new business opportunities. I’m a methodical left handed (right brained) Creative Leader and my
ability to take a project from concept through completion has greatly been appreciated throughout my
career history. I have a goal driven domineer and have been told that I’m a firm, highly talented,
productive team leader and a joy to work with. I bring to the table superior leadership abilities,
unmatched interpersonal skills capable of resolving multiple and complex issues - while motivating
staff to peak performance in a creative, Technical and productive environment. If your ready to take
your business to the next level please contact me.
Thank You
Casey Smith
