The Work
Ethan Callender is a Senior Creative Director with 15+ years leading campaigns across entertainment, sports, and technology. He's known for two things that don't always travel together: the ability to get fully inside a story — its characters, its audience, its emotional stakes — and the operational discipline to build the systems that turn that understanding into work that performs at scale.
His career spans 12 years at Paramount Global's Showtime Networks, consulting at Known, and a transformative run at Wondery, Amazon Music's podcast network, where he rebuilt the creative operation from the ground up. He's been integrating AI into professional creative workflows since 2022 — not as a shortcut, but as a tool for expanding what's possible.
His work has been recognized with Clio, Promax/BDA, Ambie, and Signal Awards.
