About MAS II Productions
Renée Maslikhov
A sole-proprieter or small business shouldn't have to spend a fortune to have professional, high-end creative. Especially in this Financial Climate!
The majority of my corporate career was spent as a marketing executive for a Fortune 10 company in the CPG industry. For almost 15 years, I developed and managed the creative process for a variety of branded marketing programs with budgets in excess of $50M. But, I was never completely fulfilled – as if I were on the outside looking in.
Since my role was to direct the creative process, I never got to actually create anything! My best days were in a conference room listening to our Ad agency's creative team pitch their ideas. I knew I was in the right room, just at the wrong end of the table! I thereafter started the process of creating MAS II Productions to bolster my innate ability and keen interest in technology, design, photography and videography.
Born in New York City and raised throughout the United States and Europe, I was a natural artist from a very young age. I quickly gravitated away from pencils and brushes and picked up a camera. As technology grew, I became consumed by all things digital.
The Sole-Designer for the Sole Proprieter!
From the onset I knew my niche market was going to be the sole-proprieter and small business owner!
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Marketing from New York University, which served me well in corporate america. But, when I launched MAS II Productions, I knew I wanted more knowledge in creative and technology, so, I went back to NYU and completed a series of continuing education courses focused on coding and web design. In addition, I continue to challenge my skills as a self-taught tinker in most of the leading design industry softwares.
I live and work in Brooklyn, New York, USA, but, view myself as a citizen of the world. Since I am a sole-proprietor, my work is intimate and focused. My mission is to not sacrifice quality for quantity. I am a sole-designer for the sole-proprietor!
