Shawn Condreay
Award Winning - Director of Creative Operations
Professional info
As a creative management professional, I have a distinct balance of creative and analytical thinking. Noted for being a dynamic counterpart in understanding business operations from the creative development standpoint.
I have successfully transformed businesses from using expensive outside resources and vendors, to building creative dynamic in-house teams or hybrid models. This has yielded positive results in saving upwards of $2M+ per year in media and advertising budgets.
I am eager to learn more about your organization, and how I can support your strategic goals and best-in-class creative team. As an award-winning Creative Manager, I bring numerous benefits that I would like to discuss further.
