Stun Creative, the L.A.-based creative agency, commercial and branded content production company, has hired veteran creative and design executive Michael Vamosy as chief creative officer, a new position at the company. In his role as CCO, Vamosy will lead creative work across Stun and its animation and design division Buster for all network, studio and consumer brand clients. He will report directly to Stun founders/principals Mark Feldstein and Brad Roth.
Vamosy brings a wealth of experience from the network side, previously as sr. VP creative services at Starz where he led campaigns on the network’s original series “Outlander,” “Black Sails,” “Power” and “DaVinci’s Demons,” as well as rebrands for Starz and Encore. Earlier he was sr. VP of design at FOX Broadcasting and VP of design at FX Networks. Vamosy was an architect of FOX’s “L for Loser” campaign for “Glee.” He also helped redesign the FOX network look and spearheaded campaigns for “Fringe,” “American Idol” and “House,” among others. While at FX, he developed the network’s in-house design team “StudioFX,” which designed the packaging for original series such as “The Shield,” “Nip/Tuck” and “Rescue Me.” He spent 2011-’12 as executive creative director at Buster, overseeing major on-air rebrands for OWN, FXM and TV One. Over the course of his career, Vamosy’s work has earned numerous PROMAX Gold and Silver Awards, TELLYs and New York Festivals honors.
Vamosy’s return to Stun comes on the heels of the shop’s Dove Men + Care Super Bowl spot “Real Strength,” the first-ever Super Bowl commercial shot and produced by Stun, and #GameDayGrubMatch, the branded entertainment reality web series Stun produced for PepsiCo which ran during Super Bowl week.
