The Mill NY is happy to announce that Mario Stipinovich has joined our Mill Design division as creative director. Stipinovich had been freelancing at The Mill prior to his fulltime appointment, working closely with Design Director Jeff Stevens on projects for brands such as Bose, Pantech, State Farm, DirecTV and Verizon, to note just a few.

"I have had Mario's website bookmarked for a very long time," says Stevens. "He has been highly regarded in the New York scene for quite a while. With the draw of Mill Design, Mario finally showed up on our doorstep and I knew he was the future Creative Director for our department.  His broad view of creative storytelling allows him to see any creative task from many angles.

"His expansive capabilities from design and motion graphics to visual effects and digital represent exactly what we are doing here at The Mill," Stevens continues.  "We have found in Mario, the glue which has begun to marry and unify our efforts. "

Prior to joining The Mill, Stipinovich was a director at Brand New School London. After two years in the company's New York office as a director, where he worked on the 2010 Silver Lion and AICP honoree, ESPN Monday Night Football "Interactive Storefront," he moved to London to establish their first overseas office. In addition to directing, he was also responsible for scouting and recruiting local talent as well as pursuing new business opportunities with London-based agencies.
