ESPN and SPORTS

Having previously worked on CBS Sports, the Winter Olympics, NBA on TNT, NFL on TNT, USTA, U.S. Open and New Jersey Nets, the wealth of sports and entertainment experience garnered the attention of ESPN. As Creative Director of ad agency Grybauskas Beatrice, we pitched and won special projects for ESPN2, NASCAR on ESPN, Tour DuPont on ESPN and ESPN International. After parting from the agency, the first call I got was from ESPN and my first project as a new consultant was to create and produce the 5-minute video for the launch of NFL on ESPN. Under my company Danjue Inc., I continued with creative on ESPN Classic, Reel Classics, Road Show and SportsCentury for 8 years. With Hearst and Disney's co-ownership, I did more ESPN creative work under the leadership of the corporation's Hearst Entertainment & Syndication division. Now with Hearst's acquisition of Rodale magazines, I am currently providing creative on Men's Health, Women's Health, Runner's World and Prevention.
