Cinevative was founded in 2001 by Creative Director Mark Ciglar. Since then, it has become the nation’s leading creative studio specializing in commercial and motion graphics production for the performing arts.

Producing for some of the most respected arts organizations in the country, Cinevative brings branding techniques perfected by network television to live entertainment in an effective and affordable way.

Through its innovative use of motion graphics, live action and visual effects design Cinevative has dramatically increased ticket sales for clients by communicating the power of the live audience experience on screen.

Performing arts producers and presenters now have the power of running dynamic pre-production spots on TV, web, in-cinema and lobby display long before the shows they are marketing even hit the stage.

Mark Ciglar is a creative entrepreneur, director, and visual storyteller who has helped reshape how live entertainment connects with audiences. In 2001, he founded Cinevative to support performing arts organizations in telling their stories more powerfully and visually — inspiring deeper engagement.

Since then, Cinevative has become a trusted creative partner for Broadway productions, symphonies, tours, and regional theaters across the country. From emotionally resonant commercials and video promos to bold stage projections, Mark’s work has helped countless organizations elevate their messaging and bring their productions to life in fresh, compelling ways.

With a background in both theater and directing, Mark brings a deep understanding of how to connect with audiences through story. His guiding philosophy — that emotional, visual storytelling resonates more deeply than footage alone — continues to shape every project Cinevative takes on.

Most recently, Mark extended his commitment to helping the industry with the creation of ArtsMarketing Suite, a patent-pending AI platform that automates and localizes marketing campaigns for live events. Built to reduce workload and enhance creative consistency, the platform reflects Mark’s continued dedication to empowering arts organizations with tools that make their jobs easier — without compromising the heart of their message.

At the core of everything he builds is a simple idea: great storytelling moves people. And when combined with smart tools and thoughtful design, it can move entire audiences.
