About.
INSPIRED BY THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.
“I don’t want to be a product of my environment, I want my environment to be a product of me.”
I own and operate a multimedia consulting company based in New York; I am blessed to say I absolutely love what I do. I have been in the multimedia and entertainment industry for 20 years and fortunate to work with some of the most talented creators and entertainers in the industry. Entering the industry first as a musician coupled with formal education helped me transition seamlessly to the business of events, entertainment, and marketing. Through the ever-evolving digital world, I quickly developed a passion for the power of video production, dynamic storytelling, and branding—engaging all the senses of consumers. I work with brands taking ideas and projects from concept to design, executing the strategy to make it all happen and having fun while we do it. Every client is unique; I’ve built a custom team of industry-specific experts and creators to bring your vision to life.

What I Do.
ENTERTAINER. CREATOR. CONNECTOR. CONSULTANT.
I am fully immersed in the multimedia industry, experienced both in front of and behind the camera as well as performing and entertaining on stage. However, my behind-the-scenes work—consulting with clients and helping them bring their vision to life with an engaging and impactful presence—is often the most rewarding.

CONSULTING, CREATIVE & TECHNICAL.
Entertainment, branding, and marketing have always overlapped so beautifully—more so now than ever before. Within each moment, the consumer wants to find a feel-good experience, one they never forget. They want to trust the face and voice representing the brand and respect to the look and feel of the messaging. I help brands develop creative concepts and production design for video production, TV ads, web videos, live events, and branding in general through dynamic, memorable storytelling.

Clients.
TRUST IS EVERYTHING.
“A healthy and long-lasting relationship must be built on trust and integrity. Doing business is no different. Be a good person, always do what’s right, take care of your clients, and keep their best interest at the forefront.”
“Quality service. Would highly recommend for any company trying to get their brand out there. Al counseled us on dozens of video projects.”
“We have worked with Al for 14 years and he has been an irreplaceable part of our annual special events, branding, and fundraising efforts. His creativity and overall ability to ‘make things happen’ has brought us long-lasting corporate sponsors, partners, and patrons that are still with us today.”
“Working with Al has been a pleasure. He’s an adept collaborator and has provided the Barclay Damon team with extensive and invaluable knowledge regarding producing podcasts, effectively leading us through uncharted water. It’s a relief knowing he can help us achieve our goals efficiently. Al has made us feel as though our project is a priority and has kept his schedule flexible to accommodate our needs. He has diligently trained key staff members to make our processes as efficient as possible and revamps the workflow as needs change. One of the best parts of working with Al is that he is proactive; he reaches out to our team to discuss his concerns and to address possible issues before we get too far along in the process.”
