FROM THE SUPER BOWL TO FORBES | NIC WEINFELD | FOUNDER, CEO FIVE TO SIXTY
Welcome to this episode of Navigating Now, where we're excited to have our first Forbes 30 under 30 member, Nic Weinfeld, the founder of Five to Sixty, a media production agency that's been making waves in the industry since 2015.
Nic's expertise lies in creating short social videos, stills, and gifs that leave a lasting impression on today's audiences.
Over the years, Five to Sixty has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Don Julio, Starbucks, Pepsi, Spotify, and Popeyes. Nic's collaborative spirit has also led him to partner with international advertising agencies like AKQA, GUT, Wunderman, and VaynerMedia.
Nic's work has not gone unnoticed either. He has won the coveted Cannes Lions Mo Film award for his Coca-Cola broadcast commercial, and Five to Sixty's Pepsi Super Bowl Campaign was honored with a Gold and Silver Telly Award.
One thing that sets Nic apart is his belief that every film has a story to tell, no matter how short or long. This perspective has allowed him to create engaging content that resonates with audiences of all kinds.
We invite you to join us for an insightful conversation with Nic on this episode of Navigating Now.
