Melanie Cornish
Executive Producer
I’ve been working with BBDO NY for the last 13 years managing budgets and productions for broadcast, digital and social content. Clients included AT&T, Bacardi, Botox, Campbell's, CVS, Exxon, FedEx, J&J, Macy's, Mars, SAP, Starbucks and Visa.
I have worked across the globe, having filmed in such locations as Chile, Berlin, Prague, South Africa, Canada and various US cities.
Prior to BBDO, I freelanced for 2 years at JWT NY in their in-house post and broadcast department.
Before making the move to the US, I worked my way up from Line Producer to Executive Producer in Toronto, working with some of Canada’s largest production companies.
Having both production and agency experience has equipped me with the skills to assess and navigate any production and to collaborate with every part of the team. From the tiniest of budgets to full global campaigns, I have the drive, knowledge, and creative instincts to bring concepts to life.
