tinygiant Adds Director Dan Saelinger
Brooklyn-based production company tinygiant welcomes the distinct talents of Dan Saelinger to their roster of talent.
Dan is a director, photographer, and visual collaborator. From the time he received his first camera at the age of 15, rural Pennsylvania-born Dan decided he wanted to make a living capturing images. Raised in the MTV-era playing 8-bit video games, he’s drawn to all things graphic and colourful. With his strong work ethic and finally honed problem-solving skills, he is known for his passion for researching, conceptualising, and shooting great ideas. He is also the founder of Saelinger & Co., a full-service creative studio in Portland, Oregon that creates content using motion, animation, photography, and design.
His impressive client list includes Amazon, Nike, Samsung, Budweiser, Dodge, Google, Kellogg's, Nickelodeon, Reebok, and Target. He has worked with top agencies such as BBDO, Grey, Deutsch, Leo Burnett, McGarry Bowen, Ogilvy & Mather, Venables Bell & Partners, and Wieden & Kennedy.
Says Veronica Diaferia, founder/executive producer at tinygiant: “Dan is incredibly multi-faceted and is constantly surprising us with his depth of knowledge and experience. He adds great depth to our roster with his impeccable taste and highly stylised aesthetic, and confirms our love of filmmakers defined by strong, bold and colourful visuals. I have no doubt that the ad world will love Dan.”
“It is an honour to join tinygiant,” says Dan. “They are the perfect blend of boutique and global, which enables them to be as diverse, adaptable, and cutting edge as they are. I’m extremely excited to expand the reach of my work with their incredible team, and combine my still photography experience with their immense production know-how.”
Dan was previously represented by Apostrophe, and they continue to rep him for still photography.
tinygiant’s roster of talent includes Jenn Shaw, Daisy Ifama, Aleksandra Kingo, and Louise Palmberg. They also recently launched a new division to serve the LatinX market, featuring a dynamic roster of directors with deep roots in Latin America.
