The Charlie Marks deep dive?

I’ve been in the industry for about 20 years. Started at NBC News, worked in film, transitioned to TV, then landed in advertising & branded content.

Now, I’m a full-time staff employee at Edelman and the in-house director for DJE Studios. I’m a director, writer, and producer. As a staff director, I get to play with a bunch of different genres and styles...

From scripted comedies to documentaries. From :06 social spots and :30 TVCs to 20-minute branded films. From food to tech to music to health and back again. I think what I’m saying is that my strength is adaptability — to any creative, any budget, and any crew. My job as a director is to create an atmosphere of fun while getting the most out of talent to tell great brand stories.

Clients include: Amazon, Quaker, Samsung, Sherwin-Williams, HP, Under Armour, Vice TV, GQ, Barilla Pasta, and Mars.

Other fun facts:

I have 2 kids with my wife, Kelly. They’re all amazing and make me a better human. I live with them in New Jersey.

I also love my dog Mickey and the Philadelphia Eagles.
