Charlie Cusumano

Charlie Cusumano got into advertising as the shipping guy at Manhattan Transfer.

It didn’t take long for Cusumano to claw his way out of the mailroom and into an assistant editor’s chair at The Big Picture Company. He came into his own as an editor at Mad River, where he cut for eight years (1994-2002) before joining Red Car.

Recent clients include BBDO, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Saatchi, and Barton F. Graf 9000. Cusumano has worked with a long list of top directors, including Jim Jenkins, Mike Maguire, and Stephen Pearson.
