About Ari Grunzeweig

I’m a storyteller at heart — and for 20 years, I’ve turned that passion into purposeful work as the Founder & Creative Director of Imagination Creations, a New York City-based video production company. We help organizations amplify their mission, engage their audiences, and communicate with impact through creative, strategically crafted video content.At Imagination Creations, we believe that every organization has an authentic story worth telling. Whether it’s a university sharing research breakthroughs, a nonprofit driving fundraising momentum, a healthcare institution explaining complex information, or a brand launching something new — our team collaborates with purpose and precision to bring those stories to life. As a result, our work has been recognized with multiple Telly Awards.My journey started with a BFA in film animation and digital image/sound, and over 20 years in the industry, I’ve had the good fortune of shaping work that feels human — not just polished. From corporate and promotional videos to training films, animated explainers, and event recaps, I love guiding projects from concept to finished work that resonates.What drives me is helping clients achieve their goals — whether that’s building awareness, educating an audience, strengthening community ties, or supporting internal change. I pride myself on blending creative vision with strategic planning, professional execution, and a collaborative spirit.I’m based in Harlem, NYC, but our productions have taken us all over the globe — proof that great stories transcend geography. I’m always interested in connecting with mission-driven leaders who understand the power of visual storytelling and want to push their message further.
