MAKE is growing. So is how we build partnerships.
Ryan Romans joins MAKE as Director of Creative Partnerships to connect the studio’s work with the right partners. As MAKE expands across commercial work, Originals, and new initiatives, he builds relationships that open new doors... and as a result, the right work moves forward.
With experience across global campaigns, live events, and experimental production, Ryan brings a clear understanding of how storytelling and brand marketing intersect. Along the way, he has contributed to major projects, including the Intel AI Platform Experience at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Call of Duty League Launch Weekend, and the Netflix Stranger Things campaign at the Empire State Building in New York City.
From there, his work has spanned everything from directing large-scale activations in Las Vegas to launching his own design service company, Savages. Because of that range, Ryan works across the full spectrum of creative and production.
Built for Connection
Ryan isn’t here to push projects through. Instead, as Director of Creative Partnerships at MAKE, he builds relationships that lead to stronger, more impactful work.
“The studio's cinematic, emotion-driven work and culture feels like exactly where I'm supposed to be,” said Romans. “I'm here to connect brilliant clients with all of that, and to build long-term relationships where the best work happens again and again. The work speaks for itself. I'm here to make sure more of it does.”
Why MAKE + What’s Next
From the start, Ryan aligned with how MAKE approaches creative partnerships. Not just as a pipeline, but as an extension of the work itself.
“Ryan immediately felt like a fit for how we think about and want to expand our creative partnerships,” said Danny Robashkin, Founder and Creative Director at MAKE. “He understands the work, but more importantly, knows how to connect it to the right people. With a background across brands, agencies, and production, he brings the experience and relationships that help us build momentum while continuing to define our voice.”
At MAKE, Ryan will build and strengthen relationships with brands, agencies, and collaborators. He works closely with the creative team to ground each partnership in strong storytelling. Then, he ensures it aligns with the studio’s evolving vision.
As MAKE continues to grow, we’re getting more intentional about who we partner with and why. Because of that, Ryan Romans helps sharpen that focus.
