BUSINESS BIO: A native of Harlem, New York, William attended New York University Film School and the New York Institute of Technology, all the while owning and operating his own photography studio. His initial training comprised of working at an editorial house, optical house, and labs timing film. This interest in film and production landed him a full time position as assistant producer with J. Walter Thompson Advertising Agency, working on such accounts as Kodak and Burger King. In 1977, he was awarded a Clio for Kodak's "The Times of Your Life" commercial. In 1981, a move to Chicago eventually secured William the position of Vice President/Executive Producer for DDB Chicago Advertising Agency, where he continued to produce television and radio spots in several creative groups. Artope was the producer on almost every account at the agency for over twenty years. His accounts included McDonalds, S.C. Johnson, Anheuser Busch, Discover Card, US West and NEC to name a few. As the world entered into a new millennium, Artope decided it was time for him to embark on a new venture where he could dedicate his talents to fostering and inspiring young talent. Realizing that editorial was the foundation of film, Artope established Eye Edit in 2004, a creative editorial post production company. As a previous executive producer for commercial agencies, William applied his training, becoming excellent at overseeing all aspects of editorial, including graphics, sound and finishing. As an executive producer, he works mainly as the liaison between his editorial team and the client. He occasionally serves as a post production supervisor on projects. William Artope also conveys his creative eye in the editing process, working closely with the editors, ensuring that the end product is at its finest. He is continually seeking fresh, new talent, new challenges and opportunities for the company’s growth.
