Dick Costello - Chairman
Dick Costello first won national awards as a writer, Associate Creative Director and producer at DDB Needham and Leo Burnett, Chicago’s two largest and most creative advertising agencies. Then he formed his own corporate communications company, The Creative Works, Inc/ i Video Productions., where he has been the principal writer and Creative Director on hundreds of projects including TV and radio commercials, corporate films, training videos, ads, brochures and print materials – winning dozens of awards in the process.
He has written successful communications for grocery chains, banks, hospitals, food companies, real estate investment trusts, trade associations, home furnishings, bedding companies, sporting goods, advertising agencies,
burial vaults, bourbon and more.
For twenty years Dick has also been directing the TV spots, corporate films and videos he’s written at i Video Productions. His work with children, humor, and dialogue is outstanding. And he is especially adept at getting professional performances from such “amateur” actors as CEOs, corporate personnel and sports celebrities.
As a Creative Director, Dick is actively involved in every aspect of the communication process. From original concepts to finished art, from casting talent to personally supervising audio and editing sessions, he personifies the concept of “hands on”. This work ethic, combined with his Masters degree in Psychology, gives Dick Costello a complete set of skills to excel in the fine art of communication.
