The comprehensive creative post boutique Bionic (www.bionic.tv) and international branding specialists Flying Machine (www.flyingmachine.tv) have announced a creative alliance between the two companies. With this new association, Flying Machine’s Micha Riss, will serve as Creative Director for Bionic on campaigns and projects.
The connection between the two New York City-based companies, was originally forged when Rick Cordero, President of consulting and staffing firm, Pavement Inc. (www.pavementinc.com) which consults with both companies, suggested Flying Machine to Bionic as the leading company to take on their re-brand in 2006. Riss, the former Creative Director for Manhattan Transfer, and an Emmy® and Promax|BDA-award winning executive who has guided a host of international campaigns spanning the USA, Italy, Japan and Israel, oversaw the award-winning re-branding campaign. It became immediately clear to Riss and Bionic’s President, Steve Beal, that there was a strong working relationship between their firms, leading to successful collaborations on a number of projects.
“This creative alliance represents the ideal scenario where absolutely everybody benefits: Bionic, Flying Machine and our clients,” Steve Beal says. “Now, anyone who comes to Bionic for our leading design, editorial and audio post services also has access to one of the foremost Creative Directors working today. We’ve already worked extremely well together, and by combining forces there’s nothing we can’t handle.”
Broadcast, corporate and multimedia campaigns can all benefit from the expert multi-platform branding guidance and visual design/audio excellence that the teaming up of Bionic and Flying Machine affords.
“Bionic has an outstanding operation and extremely deep capabilities,” Micha Riss adds. “They have amazing visual and audio talents, we have the proven branding know-how, and we share a deep mutual friendship and respect. Compatibilities like that are hard to find – between us we are creating campaigns that are as original as they are effective.”

About Flying Machine:
Flying Machine isn’t an advertising agency, a branding firm or a design house. It is nothing if not everything. It is a melding of experienced creatives across all brand platforms who know that branding problems are rarely one-dimensional, and usually require a knowledge base that can easily shift between ever-changing mediums, whether that be print, motion or design. With years of experience in the large agencies, one thing became clear – a small agile creative boutique could thrive effectively executing on client demands. With an open door policy, between clients and our creative teams, Flying Machine can go from concept to execution before the average goliath agency has even approved the brief.
