Northern Lights Adds Editor/Designer Brandon Beck to Creative Roster

NEW YORK, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Lights adds accomplished editor/designer Brandon Beck to its expanding creative roster.

Having just finished a launch campaign for USA's new original series "Covert Affairs," and prior a 14 spot campaign for Monster.com which included a spot that aired during this year's Super Bowl, Brandon brings an impressive body of spots for Hewlett Packard, General Motors, Toyota, Benjamin Moore, The Robin Hood Foundation, USA Network, VH1 and HBO.  Also an accomplished designer and time-lapse photography expert, Brandon has recently created graphics packages for IFC and AMC, and spots for Lincoln and Hyundai.

"Brandon's skills complement perfectly the style and philosophy behind the work our clients entrust to us at Northern Lights, and our sister companies Mr. Wonderful and Bodega," says Littman.  "Each spot on his reel is carefully crafted and speaks to the viewer in an artful way," adds Gioiella.

"I've been freelancing since 2004 and Northern Lights was the first place where I felt a partnership with the company," Beck commented. "The artists here are interested in making great content and pushing their abilities and creativity.  The environment of collaboration between editorial, audio, graphics and production really fosters this."

Brandon is currently cutting a HIV awareness PSA directed by Jeffrey Karoff of Backyard Productions, which he also contributed his time-lapse photography skills to.
