Creative Director, Content Strategist, Writer, + Filmmaker
Bridging the gap between creative & production
You’re looking for expertise in creative development, strategy, and production.
You understand the power of good storytelling. For decades now, companies have pursued ideas dictated by what data said and we’ve ended up with a world of sameness. We’ve lost the power and magic to create real greatness to settle for assured “good enough.” As the nature of media, content, and production rapidly changes, so do its needs. As the lines blur, the transitions can be challenging. You need more than just a director or just a creative, or just a manager and just an executor: you need both. As a seasoned creative, I help you develop dynamic content that will deliver and as a working manager, writer and director, I’m able to take the vision through to completion.
Meet Arestia
I understand you may be frustrated and overwhelmed, and you may wish you had a partner to help you develop those ideas and see them through. I know you’ve probably spent money and effort in the past and it hasn’t worked out. With me, those days are gone!
Across major industries, I’ve always done the same thing: create passionate storytelling that truly makes a difference. Now, with the changing landscape of media, advertising and production and its blurred lines, my unicorn background actually makes me the perfect person to work with a variety of brands, agencies, thought leaders, and production companies today.

name crew: Tiny Toones
I directed and produced a short documentary that followed a former refugee and gang member who started a hip hop and breakdancing school in Cambodia to encourage underprivileged youth to pursue an education; here’s the trailer. It premiered at the Cambodia International Film Festival in March of 2020 and since then has played at other film festivals online. I hope it can have a second life when film festivals hopefully return in 2021!

What They're Saying
“Arestia is, by far, one of the most talented creatives and producers I’ve ever worked with. We first collaborated to build a content marketing practice at a top agency, and I hired her again to lead brand creative at The Daily Beast. Her taste, drive and smarts are all among the best I’ve seen. Total star.”
--Mike Dyer, VP of Intel Corporation, Former CEO of The Daily Beast
“Arestia is one in a million. I could tell you that she has passion, drive, energy, a trained eye for storytelling, grace under immense pressure, creativity, and more. But aside from all [her] impressive results, she's someone I always look forward to working with, because I know she'll want to make something amazing, whatever the assignment -- and that she has the ability to get it done right, and make the hard work fun along the way.”
--Jamie Scheu, SVP, Director– Experience Design at Hill Holliday
"Although Arestia Rosenberg’s name is not on my second book cover, it should be. Writing and publishing a book involves many skilled professionals in a variety of roles. A critical part of my project was having a creative, clever, and collaborative brainstormer. That is Arestia in a nutshell. Her talent, storytelling expertise, and ability to ignite the creativity needed to jumpstart 'The Moment That Will Define Your Life' were exceptional. From ideation to completion, she was critical at the project’s onset. Enormous credit to her for being such a candid and caring partner. If you are contemplating a book idea, Arestia will be a vital piece of your journey."
--Chuck Garcia, Thought Leader, Speaker, + Executive Coach at Climb Leadership International
