ABOUT STEVE SILVERMAN:

Steve Silverman has more than 18 years of marketing and promotions experience. In 2012, he launched SuchAGoodDog, as his own marketing, promotions, and production company. His clients with that company included FOX, ABC, ABC Family/Freeform, Reelz Network and more. Among SuchAGoodDog's client projects were promotional campaigns on the smash hits Empire and American Idol, as well as Baby Daddy, Melissa & Joey, and many others. SuchAGoodDog also served as marketing creative consultant for several web series, an author, the launch of the Grand Idyllwild Lodge, and Super People.

Recently, Silverman oversaw marketing and promo creative for Freeform, working on Baby Daddy, Young & Hungry, Dead of Summer, and more. He also creatively directed multiple shoots, including those promoting Yum & Hungry, 13 Nights of Halloween with Grammy-nominee/pop superstar Charli XCX, and a mondo shoot for the cast of Switched at Birth, featuring Oscar-winner Marlee Matlin.

Silverman's most memorable work was his House promo that took Super Bowl 2011 by storm:

Steve Silverman began his career at the WB Network as a writer-producer, working on Gilmore Girls, Charmed, Reba, and other hit series. He went on to write, produce and edit promos and marketing materials at CBS, where he oversaw the number one show on television, Touched By An Angel.

Silverman next landed at Bravo as a senior writer-producer-editor, launching the smash-hit Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. He went on to hold the same position at NBC, overseeing the number one show of the time, The Apprentice. After a short stint at ABC, Steve landed at FOX as a senior writer-producer, and was then promoted to Creative Manager, where he marketed and produced promos for American Idol, The Simpsons, The X-Factor, and others.

Silverman also spent time developing promotional marketing campaigns while working with Stun Creative, Johnson & Murphy, and Studio City.

As a director, Silverman has directed Whoopi Goldberg, Reba McEntire, Jane Lynch, Mindy Kaling, Zooey Deschanel, Cloris Leachman, Dakota Johnson, Nat Faxon, Leeza Gibbons, Joan Van Ark, Genie Francis, Deidre Hall, the casts of Empire, The X-Factor, Reba, and the fab five stars from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy on horseback, while on location on a dude ranch in Dallas.

Silverman's first web series was Pretty, which he wrote, directed and produced. The series, comprised of 24 episodes over the course of 4 seasons, took home seven Independent Series Awards, making it the most awarded comedy series in the history of the ISAs. Pretty also received 5 nominations at the IAWTV Awards in Las Vegas; was featured three times on the KTLA Morning Show with Allie McKay, and is the only web series ever to be invited by the Television Academy to have its own Emmy panel discussion.

Silverman's follow-up web series include The Inn, starring Emmy-winner Crystal Chappell, and Club 5150, starring Mad Men's Crista Flanagan. Both series received critical-acclaim and multiple Independent Series Awards nominations.

He was also the co-Executive Producer on the digital series Winterthorne, starring Dallas icon Linda Gray and Dynasty star Gordon Thomson. He received his first ever Emmy Award nomination for Best Series for his work on that show. Winterthorne cast members Kathleen Gati and Kevin Spiritas also received Emmy Award nominations for Best Actress and Best Actor respectively, for that series.
