About
I’m Anton Mardakin, a creative production systems leader with 8+ years delivering high-volume video units for digital platforms. I built and led a 300-person creative department delivering 1,000+ assets per month across multiple brands and formats, turning briefs into scalable, high-quality content.
I design AI-augmented production pipelines that cut delivery cycles and unit costs by 30%+ while scaling output by 200%. I work hands-on across the full lifecycle—from brief and concept through production, testing, and iteration—cultivating a performance-driven, systems-level approach. I’m excited to bring this leadership to teams collaborating with Meta, TikTok, and Google.
