Elliott joins Flavor from Utopic, where he was director of finishing. Prior to that, he held staff positions with Red Car, Chicago, and Optimus. Among his credits are the Esurance spot that debuted during the 2014 Super Bowl, as well as McDonald’s 2013 Super Bowl spots and others for Anheuser-Busch, Jeep, Miller Lite, Nintendo and Reese’s. His documentary “The River to River Run” was honored by The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences College Awards for Best Documentary, and the animated short “Stubble Trouble” he edited for Calabash Animation was nominated for the Best Animated Short Oscar in 2001.
