Ted Resnikoff’s Summary

More than 20 years of experience as a Creative Strategist, Producer/Director, and Executive with a proven track record of creating innovative strategies and effective video-based communications solutions for commercial, non-profit, television, and corporate clients in the United States and Europe, including work as a New Media Strategist for political campaigns and non-profit organizations.

MUNICIPAL POLICE INSTITUTE

I held wide-ranging authority over the daily operations, business development, and content creation of this nonprofit institute dedicated to the continuing professional development of police officers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Under my stewardship MPI's distance learning division successfully negotiated the transition from a free web-based service to a fee-based subscription service.

I was directly responsible for producing online course material, directing subject matter experts in the creation of content, guaranteeing relevant curriculum and high aesthetic quality, and developing new sources for content. I also direct business development and sales.

FREE RADICAL CREATIVE

I assist organizations at using New Media communication strategies to achieve their branding, marketing, constituency-building, fundraising, and revenue goals. I have also developed and successfully implemented a proprietary process for leveraging video as part of a comprehensive change management solution in corporate environments.

I have a history of seeking out and effectively implementing new technology and media theory, keeping my clients on the leading edge of marketing, branding, and value adding communications.

My focus is on empowering individuals and organizations to achieve their objectives through my personal leadership qualities and the use of effective, conceptually elegant and aesthetically pleasing communications strategy, design, and implementation.
