My name is Mark Aurelius-Ross Cooper, and I am a creative director and content strategist with experience across advertising, entertainment, and digital media. I specialize in connecting creative vision with business objectives, combining strategic thinking, art direction, and production expertise to deliver work that is both culturally relevant and results-driven.

Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with organizations including MGM Resorts International, ampm, Dickinson Wright, and Hype Unit, leading projects from initial concept through final execution. My experience spans creative strategy, content development, production, brand identity, social campaigns, and cross-functional collaboration, allowing me to work effectively with creatives, producers, strategists, and clients alike.

My academic background reflects a blend of artistic discipline and cinematic storytelling. I studied Oboe Performance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts before earning a Bachelor’s degree in Film & Television from DePaul University’s School of Cinematic Arts. That foundation continues to influence my approach to creative leadership, communication, and problem-solving.

I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to every project, with the ability to bridge strategy, design, and production while maintaining a strong understanding of culture and audience behavior. Whether developing a brand campaign, leading a content initiative, or building creative systems, my focus is on delivering thoughtful ideas, efficient execution, and measurable impact.
