Charles spent an unconventional and independent youth in small towns across Texas. Advertising eventually took him out of the Lone Star State and over the next several years he would call Chicago, Portland, Amsterdam and LA home.
He's currently the Chief Production Officer and a Leadership team member at Fallon Worldwide, where he oversees all aspects of content production with a focus on creating innovative work.
Prior to joining Fallon, Charles served in leadership positions at elite creative agencies Wieden+Kennedy Portland/Amsterdam/London, Modernista! and most recently 72andSunny. His work at Satellite Films and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in Los Angeles provided a segue into the commercial film production and entertainment industries, broadening his management and creative experience to include production of content across a variety of platforms.
Known for producing complicated and groundbreaking work for U.S., pan-European and worldwide campaigns on behalf of a diverse client list, he has collaborated with some of the industry’s top creative talent and has worked throughout the world in a multitude of situations, from small budgets for tactical projects to multi-million dollar international brand campaigns. Throughout his career, he has produced an impressive body of work for clients such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Miller Brewing, Budweiser, GM, RED, the Cosmopolitan Hotel, and the band U2, amongst numerous others.
His management experience includes designing and building creative and agile integrated production groups, from recruiting key personnel to organizing for rapid growth and restructuring. He is a strong proponent of collaboration, from the creation of content with client and development partners to the mentorship and career progression of his content production colleagues.
Outside of advertising, his home renovation work, ranging from historical flats in Amsterdam to mid-century architectural homes in California, has long been a creative outlet. The homes have been published in a variety of national and international magazines, newspapers and design blogs. When not working, he enjoys travel with his partner and their Thai rescue dog, Samui, while cultivating his passions for photography, architecture and home design.
