James Shaughnessy
Co-Founder, CCO, Executive Director of Digital Media
James 10 years experience at Machinima and ManiaTV, as Branded Content Creative Producer, has crafted an absolute fluency in production, Digital creative, strategy, and programmatic distribution.
At Machinima, he pioneered and perfected their integrated marketing efforts, led animated/live-action original branded entertainment content, and worked side by side with YouTube’s largest creators and clients; such as Google, Dolby Digital, and Honda. He led the creative presentation at Machinima that landed $32 million dollars of investment from Google in 2012 that funded a half-dozen narrative series, including “Halo: Forward Onto Dawn” and “Mortal Kombat: Season 2”.
Since founding Paragon, he’s produced and directed 100s of hours of content for E3 2021, Netflix, Mattel, PCgamer, Fandom, Advertising Week New York, Blizzard Overwatch Esports, Worlds of Warcraft, Hearthstone Championships, IGN, Microsoft’s Gears of War 4, Call of Duty League, Google, Facebook, Toyota, T-mobile, Comcast Xfinity, and Microsoft Azure.
James understands that change is the only constant in Digital strategy. That if content is king, context is queen and in order to engineer success on the digital platform, a project must be data-driven, results-oriented, and most of all, authentic.
