Ivan Faerman

I founded the Stink Studios office in Argentina and later relocated to New York to lead Production and Operations for the Americas.

As Head of Production, I'm responsible for the portfolio of projects we take on, client negotiations, budget management and health, vendor negotiations, and overall output and project coordination.

I've produced a wide range of work, including full-blown campaigns with a wide range of deliverables, brand films and commercials, digital experiences and marketing websites, brand identity and design work, animation, photography, experiential activations, etc.

In my role in Ops, I've developed systems and tools, that studios use to run succesful businesses, from new biz pipelines, project management templates and workflows, production and portfolio dashboards, ops connected databases and automated processes (Note: I share these tools with people who ask.)

I am an advisor to creative agencies and studios in my homecountry who use the systems and tools I've created and shared with them.

I was fortunate to start my career at R/GA and quickly worked for Nike, Netflix, ABInbev and others.

I played a part in teams that won many industry awards.

I helped create and run one of the fastest growing media companies in Argentina.

My writing has been featured in prestigious trade publications, including Forbes, Perfil, and others.

I hold an MBA from the University of San Andrés in Argentina, complemented by a foreign exchange program at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.

I make bad jokes, but I guarantee to make you smile.

I have more books that I am likely to finish in my lifetime. My last read: In the distance, by Hernán Díaz. 10/10.
