In a Nut Shell

Mara Serdans has been an art producer for 16 years, having honed her broad range of skills working with top brands including Amazon, Ring, Subaru, Honda, YouTube, HP, Volkswagen, Infiniti/Nissan, Mazda, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Dr Pepper, PlayStation, Zillow, Anthem, Diamond Nuts, Uber, and Angel Soft. 

Mara has a passion for bringing a creative’s vision to life. She uses this passion to help source the perfect artist for the job, on time and within budget. Mara is equally comfortable working on brand or agency side and understands the nuances between both. She is conscious of balancing the needs of internal departments, and how they operate and always focuses on a solution-oriented approach. She has garnered long-standing relationships with top artist agents, photographers, producers, illustrators, animators, post-production houses and CGI vendors. No matter how big or small the job, Mara’s keen eye for detail and creative problem-solving skills make every project a success.

As a creative consultant, Mara edits websites and print portfolios, develops
marketing strategies, and offers career development advice for artists. She is also an
Ambassador for KOMYOON, a curated community of art and commerce professionals. In this role, Mara helped create the community’s online channel called KO-OP and creates their monthly artist newsletter. 

Prior to her time in LA, she worked as an assistant photo editor at Essence Magazine in NYC where she produced a range of shoots for the fashion, beauty, food,
culture/entertainment and center of the book sections. She began her professional
career working in public relations.

Mara earned a bachelor’s degree in advertising/mass communications from Boston
University and an associate’s degree in photography from the Fashion Institute of
Technology (FIT) in NYC graduating Summa Cum Laude.
