Hi, I’m glad you’re here.
This hopefully means we’ll be working together. Or if you’re just taking a look, that’s cool too.
My 20 years of advertising experience has brought me together with some really great brands like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Airbnb, Microsoft, Square, Adobe, Nike, Mastercard, Verizon, Subaru and American Express. I love leading a team as Creative Director, strategic concepting for big ideas and mentoring junior creatives.
From my mother buying me my first Meet The Beatles cassette at age eight, to working at record labels and stores, to building my own recording studios, I have always been very passionate about music. In 2013, I founded the collaborative music licensing company Pacific Soundtracks. We write, record and sync original music by independent artists for films, videos, TV and games.
And I’m an enthusiastic photographer. On my off time, you can usually find me taking photos around town with film cameras.
I live in Los Angeles with my amazing wife and our rascal of a dog Tina Turner. And I look forward to learning about you. Thanks for stopping by.
Some nice words from my colleagues
Michael is one of the most proactive and collaborative people I've worked with. He’s always pleasant, ready to dig in, and does great work.
Seth Garon, Group Creative Director, Rain Agency
I‘ve worked with Michael for 15 years. You only keep up an association with someone that long if they’re smart, funny, and easy to work with. Michael is all of that and more.
Joe Lazar, Founder, Article Group
I can confidently say that Michael played a big part in my working as a full-time producer and musician. His knowledge inside and out of the studio is as infectious as his smile! I’m always looking forward to working with him.
Michael Bordelon, Musician [Orville Peck, Nikki Lane]
Michael is multi-talented, perceptive, and a strategic thinker. He's an attentive and appreciative listener, and a joy to collaborate with.
