Founder / Creative Director

Anthony Vitagliano designs experiences for entertainment, hospitality, and public space that create a sense of belonging.

He works with brands to uncover their origin story—not just why a brand came to be, but why it deserves to be felt. He explores the edge of a narrative and builds new experiences that communities can belong to.

Anthony established his creative roots in emotional storytelling, filmmaking, animation, and digital design. His past roles include President and Chief Creative Officer of the award-winning creative experience company Digital Kitchen. After 17 years of leading creative teams at DK, he became the Vice President of Exhibitions for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

His work has earned numerous industry awards, an Emmy nomination, an Effie, and a Design Grand Prix at the Cannes International Creativity Festival.

He has led world-class projects for diverse clients such as Warner Brothers, HBO, Amazon Studios, Target, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, West Elm, Showtime, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Mercedes Benz.

In 2021, after a one-year bout with cancer, Anthony launched TONOS, a creative experience studio focused on timeless, story-driven experiences for brands.

Using his deep creative expertise and genuine understanding of human emotion, Anthony creates experiences across any medium that build meaningful connections.

He values open-minded collaboration with people whose measure of success equals his – to create experiences that change the face of a company, brand, or industry at large.
