MY STORY

I’ve spent the last 12 years working across any and all mediums that provided me with an outlet to tell stories, sharpen my craft, and learn new things.

12 years is a long time, so let’s break it down:

I’ve spent the last 10 years working in marketing. In that time, I’ve focused a lot on entertainment marketing, working with clients like Target, e.l.f., TikTok, NBC Universal, Hulu, Prime Video, Disney+, Netflix, and more. I’ve also spent a lot of time outside of entertainment with client & projects including Target, Sherwin-Williams, Vista, e.l.f., and more.

Throughout this time, I’ve worked heavily across social and digital platforms, as well as experiential, on-air, and OOH. As such, I’ve grown knowledgeable and capable working within visual platforms (e.g., Adobe Creative Cloud) and disciplines (e.g., photography & video editing), as well as the various stages and functions of production (Directing, Scripting, Storyboarding).

Before marketing, I spent a lot of time doing a lot of different things. The “exploring my options” stage of my career saw me take on everything from entertainment and music journalism to technical writing, staff writing, and managing editing while also tackling my own personal projects (scriptwriting, fiction writing, and music composition and production).

The truth is I genuinely enjoy storytelling—not just scripting words, but exploring how mediums can be used to tell stories differently. That’s why I still spend the majority of my spare time pursuing my own personal projects.

There’s a lot more ground to cover, but I’d love to do that in person. Feel free to reach out any time: ventimigliamike@gmail.com.
