MICHAEL ELYANOW

Creative Director  •   Brand Strategist   •   Multicultural Marketer

I've been a storyteller all my life — and a Creative Director for the past 16 years. Brand strategy, messaging, communications, copywriting... it's all part of my portfolio. So is managing teams and leading them to award-winning work.   Let's connect.

Let
me
tell
you
a
story.

As a creative director, I bring my background in storytelling with me wherever I go. Having written for theatre, film and television, I know how to disrupt a narrative, realize a vision, and get the most out any collaboration.  

I started off my career as the co-chair of the Creative Writing for the Media program at Northwestern University and as a writing professor at other colleges. Those positions helped shape the way I mentor and communicate as a leader today.

I grew up south of Boston — lost the accent years ago but still kept the edge. Now I'm in Altadena, CA with my awesome family and our blue heeler.
