Mitch Monson has become creative director/client partner at mOcean where he will deepen the creative marketing agency’s footprint in motion design. An Emmy-winning designer, Monson has collaborated with television networks and brands, including ABC, Canal+, Comedy Central, FOX, HBO, Showtime, Canon, IBM, and Nike. He was also instrumental in creating one of the most unique and recognizable pieces of design–the iconic Love Symbol for The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.
“We’re increasingly working across discipline boundaries to deliver what our clients have come to expect above all: efficiency, value and creative excellence,” remarked mOcean EVP/managing director Chuck Carey. “Mitch will strengthen this equation, given his leadership experience and track record of fusing together design, animation and storytelling in inventive ways.”
“Narrative has always been a strong point of emphasis in my past work, and I respect that mOcean has a similar approach,” added Monson. “It’s a powerful formula to work with the amazing writers and visual storytellers here on premium, narrative-driven content marketing. I am looking forward to collaborating with such an interdisciplinary force as mOcean.”
Prior to joining mOcean, Monson was creative director at Trollbäck + Company in New York, where he led the rebrand of the BBC masterbrand; brand identities for the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics and the upcoming 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics for NBC Sports; and the original “Mr. Robot” show packaging for USA Network, to name a few projects.
