Ben Tyson & Sean Walsh co-founded Hoozens to drive the video industry forward... in the right way.
Hoozens started in San Francisco when Ben, as US President of a London-based video agency and Sean, Creative Director for a Publicis agency based on the East Coast realized that they were sitting in separate rooms of the same building to get their work done. So they pushed their desks together.
Ben is an industry leader in scaling video content operations with brand, agency and technology experience. Ben has built successful brand studio and agency businesses, looking after large teams of producers. He’s a lover of all things video, automotive, architecture, comedy & design.
Ben has built a client list of Fortune 500 companies and picked up a ton of broad business leadership experience along the way. His projects & producers have won numerous awards & recognition, signing and leading clients that include Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, IBM, Ogilvy Entertainment, Verizon, HP Inc., L'Oreal Paris, Toyota, Experian.
Previously, Ben has held posts as US President of a video agency, Executive Producer of Coca-Cola Studios, SVP of a video technology company, and started up studios and teams with great success globally. Ben is a graduate of Princeton’s School of Architecture.
Before starting Hoozens, Sean was a Creative Lead at Digitas, serving as a strategic and creative partner on the agency’s Delta Airlines account. His day-to-day responsibilities included overseeing and ideating on larger campaigns, while managing a team of designers, art directors and writers. During this time, Sean created countless pieces of digital and social content—and even videos that you may have seen on a seat-back screen if you’ve traveled with Delta recently.
After studying Film & Television writing at NYU, Sean took his passion for crafting scripts and narratives into the world of advertising. He’s worked with clients that include Coca-Cola, Verizon Fios, McDonald’s, Kia, Blizzard Entertainment, HGTV, The American Heart Association, Make Up For Ever and NPR.
