Shaq and United Nations SG slam dunk Malaria.

Working through North Jersey ad agency SGW Integrated Marketing Communications and Niles Wolfson, Chief Creative Officer, I just completed directing a Malaria Day 2012 PSA at the United Nations. The video featured NBA legend, Shaquille O'Neal and UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, and will make its debut at a gala United Nations' fund-raising event in late April.

Need a little direction?

Victor Sonder began his career as founder/creative director of SonderLevitt & Sagorsky Advertising and was instrumental in the agency's 20-year ascent into the ranks of the East Coast's most innovative creative forces. His award-winning work for the Pennsylvania Lottery, Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, Boyds Men's Store, the Phillies and 76ers and a host of renowned regional and national accounts helped spark a creative revolution in the industry. Now, as CEO/Creative Director of SONDER &, Victor handles marketing strategy, copywriting, art direction and production supervision for all print, broadcast and web oriented projects. In addition, when assignments are sufficiently large and complex, he assembles and supervises a team of renowned specialists from across the country to better address a company's specific marketing challenges. Drawing on his experience as founder of NFL Films Commercial Production Division, Victor is also a freelance director of commercials and longer-form projects for prominent agencies and corporate clients direct. His network TV campaign for NFL Sunday Ticket-the league's highly successful satellite subscription service-was recognized with a national Addy award. In addition, Victor's direction, writing and even acting have been recognized by the Clio Awards, The Hollywood Radio & Television Awards, The Art Director's Club and The New York Film Festival among many others.
