Damien S. Navarro

Damien Navarro’s first and foremost passion is filmmaking and storytelling. He has executive produced and directed award-winning branded and original content across broadcast television, film, animated, digital, gaming and music mediums. His body of work has garnered a number of industry awards including Webby’s, Addy’s and Telly’s.

Navarro spent the last fifteen years building an internationally renowned digital marketing and communications agency, one of the fastest-growing and respected shops in the country, Brighter Collective. Navarro’s responsibilities at Brighter included driving the entity’s corporate growth, sales, marketing and revenue diversification strategies as well as recruiting, hiring, mentoring and managing executive and leadership teams.

With his ability to adapt to a diversity of market needs, he built a diverse client portfolio spanning Fortune 500, entertainment, healthcare, education and globally-recognized non-profit brands. For his clients, Navarro was responsible for building entity-wide consensus and alignment between C-levels, investors, senior-marketing, technology, advertising, development, financial, and human resource divisions.

Since selling his interests to Brighter in the spring of 2013, Navarro has now focused his efforts on getting back to his storytelling roots, spending the last year imagining and building a next generation entertainment consulting firm, DNA Agency Group. DNA’s mission is to develop branded entertainment content, original franchises, national cause campaigns, and go-to-market strategies for a client base spanning Fortune 500s, studios, networks and large non-profits alike. This includes crafting ground-breaking content properties with partners in major motion picture, television, sports, publication and entertainment franchises featuring original content, national tours, documentary films, ground-breaking web series’, major events and performance-driven campaigns that leverage the brand equity of all partners involved.

The firm will also harness research methodologies including social intelligence, big data assessment and real-time engagement profiling and monitoring to provide nimble pivoting and responsiveness to audience feedback, sentiment and evangelism trends. His vast network of professionals spanning Emmy, Oscar and Webby-recognized writers, producers, directors, digital shops, technology providers, media, distribution and talent representation has given the new entity incredible leverage, having already acquired clients spanning entertainment, life-style, product and major retail brands.

Navarro’s most notable stand-out accomplishments include:

• Diverse subject-matter-expertise in entertainment, marketing and technology
• Thought-leader in predictive modeling, ideation strategies and trend evaluation
• Extensive Hispanic, Asian, LGBT and African-American market experience
• Regular public speaker, educator, team-builder and webinar/curriculum author
• Non-profit president, board-member and professional mentor for young adults

• Made Inc. 5000’s fastest growing private companies five years-in-a-row
• Recipient of ‘greenest’, ‘fastest-growing’ and ‘one-of-the-best’ companies to work for

He is also a lecturer for Film and Media Arts at Chapman University.
