Television.
As a Music Video Director's Assistant and Post Production Supervisor on music videos, including those for Grammy Award winning recording artist Christina Aguilera. While working pretty much 24/7 for a top echelon music video director from start to finish on each production, Aviad was schooled in how to work with clients, in this case major record label executives and recording artists, joining forces to build brand identity and awareness for a music artist or band and their latest hit single they are promoting, with the goal of producing a music video that would be in constant rotation not just on MTV but in the minds of devoted fans and presenting the artist to new perspective fans. How a music video director professionally and creatively works with their client to achieve a successful creative goal has influenced Aviad in how he works with his clients. Focused, yet fun to work with, he has developed a unique natural ability to team up with his clients and the products they want to promote, then developing a unique vision and marketing strategy for and with them, then seeing the project from it's conception to it's completion and finally to it's global launch.
Prior to working in commercial and music video production, Aviad was enlisted as an employee at Tomandandy Music in New York, serving as an invaluable asset to the company in various capacities, including serving as Post Production Supervisor for their staff composers commercial music and sound design reels. It was here, aside from his formative years, gently pulling out Versace, Calvin Klein and other fashion ad campaigns from the latest issue of Vogue magazine, that Aviad was introduced first hand to the art of brand identity. Working with and being around a group of top of the line innovative commercial music composers and sound designers in the industry, tending to ad agency creative directors in studio sessions, and working with Tomandandy Music's brand identity expert, the education that came along with the hard work earned perspiration was priceless and left a lasting impression on Aviad, which he brings to his web design client's projects.
Aside from intensive creative direction and brand identity experience, he has 12 years experience working in graphic design and 9 years experience working in web development, production and design under his belt.
