Leadership,
& Insight
I’m Joshua Pritzker, an experienced Creative Director, Content Producer, and Marketing Strategist with a dynamic 15-year career that blends creativity with business acumen. I began as an Adjunct Professor, teaching storytelling, design, and animation, consistently receiving top reviews.
In the corporate world, I achieved notable results. As Vice President at Zoom Media, I repositioned the brand, increasing revenue by 40%. At Adkom, I developed the brand and built a marketing plan, boosting revenue from 1M to 10M in 18 months. Banco Popular saw significant growth in new accounts during my tenure with a strategic rebrand and many successful direct mail campaigns.
My academic journey includes an MFA in Experimental Animation from the California Institute of the Arts and a BFA in Art & Design from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Proficient in storytelling, art direction, UX design, and more, I excel at developing innovative marketing strategies and building cohesive, successful teams. Connect with me here for potential collaborations.
