Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc. (Deluxe) has appointed Stefan Sonnenfeld to serve as its chief creative officer. Sonnenfeld will drive the artistic strategy that defines the Deluxe brand and ensure that the company houses and develops the best creative talent across color, VFX and editorial for film, TV and commercials. He will continue to color film and commercial projects and play a senior role in the development of new customer relationships to grow Deluxe’s creative business in North America.
Sonnenfeld is a pioneer in the evolution of color grading, from film to digital intermediate finishing to HDR. John Wallace, CEO of Deluxe, said, “Stefan’s incredible talent and commitment have been instrumental in transforming Deluxe’s Creative Services into the premier digital artistic production and postproduction business that it is today. We are grateful for his creative vision over the last two decades and look forward to building upon the foundation he created as we move into the next phase of Deluxe’s growth.”
Sonnenfeld founded Company 3, which Deluxe acquired in 2010 as part of its Ascent Media purchase.
With operations in Los Angeles, New York and around the globe, Deluxe–which provides digital creative services and multi-platform content delivery solutions–employs nearly 7,000 artisans and industry vets worldwide.
