Step Change Names Domenico De Rosa as Art Director

Last week, Step Change CEO Ashton Bishop announced Domenico De Rosa’s promotion from Head of Studio to Art Director.

Dom will be responsible for directing video and animation projects; create ideas, stories, and visual executions; oversee projects from a visual/motion perspective; and train the production team to continue creating great work.

“Dom’s valuable contribution to the agency’s creative work, client service, culture, and artistic credentials has made a notable impact,” Ashton says.

Moreover, his outstanding work at AWARD School is proof that he’s capable of taking the big leap. The 12-week intensive course proved to be a very insightful experience.

“Knowing how to draw helped me a lot as I could flesh out ideas quickly. Having said that, in the end, great ideas always win, no matter how polished the execution is,” he says.

As the agency’s Art Director, he aims to raise further the quality bar in the work we produce, grow the creative team with talented, artistic minds, and work on larger integrated campaigns that reach the broader audience and lead to great results for our clients.
