For more than two decades, Daniel Tamman has helped ideas take shape, find their place, and keep moving.
A CEO walking onto a stage at CES, a Nobel Prize-winning lab welcoming its first visitors, a worldwide product launch, a global summit opening with something no one in the room expected.
The work spans live events, film, installations, commercials, and everything in between. The impulse behind it is always the same: find the human truth in a complex idea, map the journey from first impression to lasting memory, and build something the audience feels.
He works primarily with event and production agencies—brought in on the projects where the creative stakes are highest and the margin for error is smallest. Clients have included IBM, Samsung, Nokia Bell Labs, AECOM, Yahoo, Citi, and Thomson Reuters, among many others.
He grew up in London, shaped by a rich cultural background, fluent in Italian and French, and steeped in perspectives that travel alone can't teach. A media degree from Bournemouth University brought him to help grow a London creative production house. And what began as a transatlantic commute became a life in New York City, first with permanent residency as an "alien of extraordinary ability," and since naturalized.
Outside of client work, he serves as a Trustee and Officer at Kane Street Synagogue in Brooklyn, where he has spent nearly a decade helping a historic institution find its footing in a changing world. It is, in many ways, the same job—understand the audience, clarify the message, make it resonate.
He lives in Brooklyn with his spouse, three daughters, and Maximilian, miniature schnauzer/muse.
