Jon Kamen, the guy at the helm of RadicalMedia, has basically turned the company into a creative powerhouse that’s everywhere—TV, film, music, you name it. He didn’t just stick with advertising, either. He steered the ship straight into new waters, cranking out everything from documentaries to live events to wild interactive projects. The man’s fingerprints are on over 175 film and TV credits—seriously, that’s almost unreal. If you’re into trophies, well, his work has scooped up Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Golden Globes, and Peabodys. Not exactly small potatoes. He’s not just racking up awards, though. He’s picked up a Grammy for himself and a handful of other honors—like the Gotham Awards, Bloomberg’s “Made in NY” nod, even the Smithsonian’s National Design Award. The guy’s got range. On top of that, he’s deep in the arts scene, serving as Vice Chair on boards for places like RISD, the Museum of the Moving Image, and Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. Clearly not just a figurehead. Kamen calls New York home, always chasing what’s next, never really slowing down or playing it safe. He’s constantly collaborating with a wild crew at RadicalMedia—artists, directors, tech wizards, the whole lot—and pushing everyone to break new ground. Ask him what RadicalMedia is, and he’ll tell you it’s “Never Established.” Pretty much sums it up: always evolving, never boring.
