Summary

To Whom it may concern, My name is Denis Giroux, I am a former Senior Vice President, Executive Producer at Leo Burnett in Chicago. I have been an Agency producer for over many years. Most recently I have been working as a Senior Producer at David & Goliath in Los Angeles. I am responsible for producing Television commercials, Social, Digital, and On line videos from storyboard concept through finish. I hire the Production Company, Director, Casting Director, Post production facilities, music companies, and handle the contracting of the cast. I am the day to day contact for my clients. I am well-versed in all aspects of the production process for live-action, animation, 2D, 3D, VFX, digital and social media. I am accomplished at negotiation, budgets, timelines, and vendor relationships. I have managed different aspects of Internal production resources for the Agency. Everything from Post Production, Shoots and Digital work. I have experience in hiring talent for these internal resources, Editors, Cameraman, Directors, DP’s. Managed the bottom line for annual budgets. I have expertise in SAG talent, Union/ Non-union film crews, offshore production, I have produced and worked on almost all of our major clients, and produced projects on all of the major continents. I believe with my knowledge and expertise I would be a welcome asset for any Marketing/Production companies. My communication skills involve all departments within the agency structure, from upper management, to Account management, Creative dept., Planning, Strategy, Legal departments and of course the Client.
