Andy Kelemen

The weirder the better. Branded content director of all things playful and unique.

Andy got his start documenting behind the scenes content for Troma Entertainment with Lloyd Kaufman, which gave him a great appreciation for parody, farce, and gore. He then spent a number of years directing for one of the largest political ad agencies in the country, producing and directing national campaigns, which furthered his appreciation for parody, farce, and gore.

After making an elaborate spectacle of quitting in front of high powered Senators and Congressmen, he became a full-time freelance director, while starting a production company in the process. His work has created millions of social media impressions, and he's picked up seven Emmy awards along the way for his documentary work with PBS.

In directing content, he's proud of the work he creates, and his ability push the envelope (and push clients) when needed. While it’s tough to brag about personality traits, he's consistently described as being easy to work with, and a fantastic collaborator. And let’s be honest, when you work on a commercial project - you spend a ton of time together. He calls the kickass city of Pittsburgh, PA home, but works all around the globe. I wrote this in the third person.
