Melissa Bolton-Klinger

Melissa Bolton-Klinger wanted to be a nepo baby but was tragically born in the shadows of Detroit and then carted off into the not-so-mean streets of suburban Philadelphia. After four years of class presidency she left Delco for Northwestern University. Fueled by a diet of Frat Boys and Fellini she went to NYC for a stint at MTV where she caught the directing bug.

The stars called and she went west to Hollywood, where she sharpened her improv at The Groundlings and later became Group Creative Director at Paramount, redefining movie marketing with a cavalcade of celebs along the way. Many awards were won.

She’s now a full-time Director of all things commercial, content, and comedy who can sniff out what’s not working before anyone else and fix it before anyone panics. She makes creatives look like geniuses, talent feel like stars, and clients feel like they made the right call. Because they did.
