| Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Mario Grillo and I have been in the magazine industry for almost fifteen years. During my time at Crescent Publishing/Blue Horizon Media--publishers of CHERI magazine, High Society magazine and Playgirl--I was involved in all aspects of day-to-day operations.
For the last ten years I was Editor-in-Chief/Executive Editor of HAWK, LIVEyoungGirls, Purely 18 and Finally Legal magazines, during which I ran all four monthly titles simultaneously and supervised a staff of over a dozen people, including art directors and production/pre-press personnel. During this time my annual budgets were in excess of one million dollars.
My relationship with the creative department is something I am most proud of, as I have been an artist my entire life, attending both the High School of Art & Design and SUNY Purchase.
My tenure at Blue Horizon has afforded me the opportunity to gain invaluable experience. I am also adept at all aspects of copywriting, editing and production, as well as record-keeping, editorial feature procurement and photo shoot art direction. Additionally, I have personal relationships with numerous writers and photographers in the adult industry, including J. Stephen Hicks, Kevin Maklin and Earl Miller.
Please take the time to peruse this page of portfolio samples and read the RAMP pages. I am eager for a new job opportunity where I can utilize my experience and help create some exciting work along with a similarly enthused team.
