YOUNG CREATIVE MEDIA ENTREPRENEUR 2011

Damian Kirzner

For more than 20 years I`ve been developing content for TV shows. In the last couple of years, I´ve worked as an Artistic Director for the main TV production companies in Argentina (Ideas del Sur, Promofilm, Cuatro Cabezas) and lately I´ve opened my own production company, where I´m in charge of the general strategy and the development of content. As all the entrepreneurs do, I carry out almost all the roles in the company, from the development of the business to the artistic direction of the products.

I come from the Media (where I was in charge of many successful TV shows) and right now I´m dedicated to generate contents specially developed for the convergence of media (the merge of traditional media with new media), creating multiplatform TV programs and digital magazines.  

I have a Degree in Social Communications and started my career in TV and films when I was very young. In a very short period I was already working in management positions in the main production companies of the country. I worked as an Artistic and Content Director creating very successful TV shows with great audience and good critics, which won important national and international awards. I created and managed very solid production structures in these companies, which are still working together. Some years ago I started my own independent career as a TV producer and in 2005 developed the first new media content of my creation: the first TV program specially developed for cell phones in Latin America. Since then, I`ve been working on traditional TV content but also on new media developments. In 2007 I created the first game with geo localization for smartphones, it was sold to a Spanish Company (Berggi). In 2009, we created the first TV show for the prime time of one of the main channels in Argentina, based on economic income from sms (mobile). In 2010, we started the first publishing company of the region dedicated to digital and interactive magazines and now, in 2011, we are about to present our first issues. Besides, during 2011 we create the first multi platform TV show of the region, it will be on air in September in Uruguay.
