Dan Buyanovsky is a creative leader with 15 years of experience across advertising and entertainment.
He was born in New York to Russian immigrants who taught him empathy and multiculturalism at an early age. He is bilingual and spent three years living in Tokyo; the result of a deep curiosity that has led him to explore new cultures, in hopes of better understanding the people he shares this planet with.
Dan began his career writing for Interview, Vice, and XXL, then worked as a writer and producer at MTV and Laundry Service, where he gained an education in visual storytelling. He went freelance in 2017, partnering with best-in-class brands on campaigns, commercials, documentaries, photography, and brand voice projects.
Since 2021, he has held in-house leadership roles at boutique agencies PUSH and Robin, and is currently the Sr. Director of Branded Video + Photo at Complex. He takes pride in building diverse teams with trust, clarity, and accountability — creating environments where strong ideas and strong people can thrive.
Past clients and collaborators include Alo, Adidas, Asics, Beats By Dre, Bose, Condé Nast, Jordan, Nowness, On, Samsung, and Yamaha, among many others.
