Ross Greenblat
I am an integrated content producer and have been working in the industry since 2010. Throughout my professional career, I have driven print and broadcast projects for high-profile brands, including McDonald's, Allstate, KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAid, Amana, Purina Dog Chow, Travelocity, and Sealy. I treat every production uniquely as no two are the same, but approach them all with a collaborative spirit and a strong work ethic. I pride myself on being a problem-solver who works to deliver the best possible product on each project I work on. In the time that I have worked in the advertising industry, I have been lucky enough to work on some great projects, with incredible people who have innovative ideas.
I am currently an Executive Producer on the Integrated Production team at WoW Studios, the internal creative agency at Whirlpool Corp, working across all of their brands.
