Today we’d like to introduce you to Seth Silver.
Hi Seth, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am a distinguished Creative Executive known for my digital innovation in brand campaigns for renowned names such as Pepsi, Ford, Disney, Target, Google, and Wendy’s. My exceptional ability to seamlessly integrate content, technology, and design has been the foundation of my highly successful career, marked by collaborations with some of the world’s largest corporations.
I earned my Graphic Design degree from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Downtown Los Angeles, setting the stage for my professional journey at Novocom. At this Emmy Award-Winning design agency, I played a crucial role in overseeing creative teams across North America and Asia. This experience provided me with invaluable insights into the intersection of culture and creative output, as well as the skills needed to curate, lead, and mentor cross-disciplinary teams.
Transitioning to Heavenspot, a pioneering digital creative agency, I played a pivotal role in driving the firm from its inception to serving esteemed clients such as New Line Cinema, 20th Century Fox, Hasbro, Red Bull, Complex Magazine, Marc Ecko Enterprises, and others. Later on, the agency achieved significant milestones through private investors and M&C Saatchi stewardship.
In 2008, I took the leap to found Evolve Interactive, a specialized studio focused on web, mobile, and emerging technologies. The studio’s client roster included distinguished brands like Hyundai, Microsoft, Shell, Sony Pictures, Vitamin Water, Fox Broadcasting, and Conde Nast. My industry expertise led me to expand into social media marketing in 2009, culminating in the establishment of Social Control—an esteemed boutique social media consulting firm based in Los Angeles. Notable clients under its umbrella encompassed Dole, Reebok, Quaker Oats, Nautica, Cisco, and CareerBuilder.
Moving forward to 2023, I embarked on a new venture, founding SILVER alongside my accomplished wife, Margarita, who is an adept food and photo stylist. SILVER is a dynamic collaborative effort, materializing as a photo and video studio catering to the Food & Beverage sector. Our portfolio showcases collaborations with esteemed brands including Post Cereal, BodyArmor, Kinder, Waterloo, and more.
Beyond my noteworthy accomplishments and extensive experience in the creative industry, I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth. Believing deeply in the power of innovation and leadership, I pursued and achieved Certification in Foundations of Creative Leadership from IDEO University.
This prestigious certification from IDEO University solidifies my position as a visionary leader who excels not only in design, technology, and marketing but also possesses a profound understanding of the principles driving effective and transformative leadership. IDEO University, renowned for its groundbreaking approach to creativity and design thinking, has equipped me with a unique toolkit to foster innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth within my creative ventures.
My dedication to honing my leadership skills through specialized education demonstrates my unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity and inspiring those around me. By merging my innate creative abilities with the strategic insights gained from my IDEO University certification, I continue to explore new territories in the ever-evolving landscape of creative leadership.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Absolutely not! If entrepreneurship were a walk in the park, it would be a path tread by all. My venture has been far from smooth, marked by instances of significant triumph and moments that have humbled me in every conceivable way. Yet, it remains the most enriching expedition I could have chosen, as it centers around self-discovery, taking responsibility, and personal evolution. Numerous times, I’ve found myself at a standstill, uncertain of the way forward. However, my aspirations provide the drive, determination, and trust I need to take that subsequent stride. I am in a perpetual state of learning, consistently pushing my boundaries and perpetually gazing at myself in the mirror with the realization that I am my own savior.
