CAVIAR RE-LAUNCHES WEBSITE, FORAYS IN HISPANIC MARKETS
Caviar Content re-launches its website today, incorporating the
full roster of directors, US and European-based talent alike. In
addition to the new look and feel, Caviar announces its expansion
into Hispanic markets, signing Argentinean directing team, the
Puenzo Brothers (Nico and Pepe), who will work in both Hispanic
and English-speaking markets.
In addition, Mexican director Rogelio Sikander also joins Caviar’s
burgeoning roster of Hispanic talent. Also coming aboard is
producer Ileana Goldenstein, who will work primarily in Hispanic
market projects and will be based out of Caviar’s Venice, CA
office.
“We’ve already done work for Hispanic markets in the US so it was
a logical step in our company’s growth,” notes LA-based Caviar
EP Michael Sagol. In other Caviar news, additional recent work
for the Hispanic-speaking markets includes new Honda spots,
directed by Stephen Blackman out of La Agencia de Orci, Los
Angeles.
