MARK GROTHMAN

Creative Director & Executive Producer With 15+ Years of Experience

As an experienced Creative/Art director and Executive Producer, I’m highly collaborative, having partnered with copywriters, producers, client-side internal teams, production and post-production crew, and other creatives to develop impactful work that aligns with brand objectives. I thrive on pushing creative boundaries, finding innovative ways to tell brand stories, and using insights to iterate on high-performing content strategies. Whether it’s brainstorming big-budget video campaigns or quickly executing fast-turnaround projects, I bring a high level of creativity, attention to detail, and a sense of urgency to everything I do.

From Colleagues & Clients

Mark is a dedicated, skilled, and resourceful Creative Director, who has honed an impressive knowledge of the advertising and commercial marketing industry throughout his career. As a director, DP, and video editor, I collaborated with Mark on countless video and photo productions while working at The Werehaus. With a strong background in design and Adobe Creative Suite, Mark is an excellent leader who has great creative instincts and an ability to create new and exciting work that is consistent with a brand’s identity and mission.

From managing large, complex projects with multiple stakeholders and external vendors to putting the final polish on a project himself, Mark ensures any creative production will be a success. As a leader, Mark’s character speaks for itself. He is empathetic, a strong listener, motivated, and puts trust in his creative team to drive strong results and successful outcomes. I am a more confident creative after working with Mark and am grateful for all of my positive experiences working with him at The Werehaus!
