About Frank Lagnese

I am a versatile storyteller, creative mind, and strategic marketer with a robust background in the entertainment and corporate content industry, spanning both production and post-production teams. As a seasoned professional, I bring a wealth of experience in project management, workflow leadership, education and mentorship to the table. During my tenure as a creative content leader at Warner Bros. Discovery, I led a dynamic team responsible for producing high-end social and marketing content for HBO Max, TNT, Tru, and TBS's original productions. My role involved navigating the complexities of large corporations, while infusing a startup mindset into day-to-day operations, fostering enthusiasm and creativity within the team. My interactions have extended across diverse industries, including traditional TV/Film, software, sports, digital interactive entertainment (gaming), theme parks, education, non-entertainment corporations, and startups. I thrive on engaging conversations and learning from leaders across these varied fields. I possess a unique background of hands-on editing and producing skills as well as experience giving strategic direction to larger content teams. Having successfully managed the high-end EPK and Behind the Scenes Featurette content team at Warner Bros. Discovery, I've also spearheaded content initiatives with non-entertainment brands in pharma, healthcare, e-learning, travel, fintech, and retail through Barrel Aged Creative. My passion lies in ideation, development, learning, building and supervising teams of creative professionals within collaborative and innovative environments. With a track record of attracting and retaining top talent, I am committed to being empowered and held accountable to achieve objectives, particularly in the face of ambiguity. I take pride in handling multiple projects and teams simultaneously, fostering collaboration, and delivering effective solutions.
