Phoenix Productions is a New York-based creative studio that produces advertising, television, film and video production company. The company was formed in 2005 by Chris Phoenix to create the show open and graphics package for Bravo's Battle of the Network Reality Stars.[1][unreliable source?] It has since expanded into marketing, advertising and other programming, most notably the Comedy Central series Important Things With Demetri Martin[2][unreliable source?] and Jon Stewart's "Night of Too Many Stars".[3][unreliable source?] The company bills itself as a combination creative agency, production company and post-production house.
History[edit]
While serving as the Director of Dennis Media Group (an online, broadcast and retail video division of the former publisher of Maxim magazine), Phoenix sought in 2005 to expand the purview of this video production division to service the broadcast needs of outside clients. When it was decided that the video department should focus more on online editorial content, Phoenix used an offer to create graphics packages for cable television network Bravo’s first original production, Battle of the Network Stars, as the foundation for an independent production company. Shortly following Phoenix's departure, Dennis Media Group was restructured to focus on creating video and multimedia content for the editorial branch of Dennis Digital.
