Melanie TONGAS
Melanie is currently a freelance Senior Art Producer at Innocean USA. For more than 20 years she has been producing content in advertising photography, illustration, CGI, along with some video. Her love of art and photography began as a child, excited to see what had been in the eye of the camera transform into an image she could hold in her hand. Her keen eye evolved and matured, the result of taking photography and art classes. Ultimately, she experienced the real world of photography while assisting high fashion, celebrity and lifestyle photographers.
In the advertising world she has worked on local, national and global brands ranging from automotive and tech to toys and tourism, and everything in between. She has produced at Saatchi & Saatchi LA, TBWA\Chiat\Day, 72andSunny, and others.
During the past 5 years Melanie has worked on a number of integrated campaigns, including those for Gatorade Global, Persil, and Toyota. Previously she was the Department Manager of Art Production at RPA where she worked on numerous award-winning campaigns for Honda and Acura.
