Designer Bob Bonniol Joins ACT Entertainment as Director of Innovation for Video ACT Entertainment announces the appointment of Bob Bonniol as director of innovation for video. A production designer and creative whose experience includes Broadway, concert tours, theme parks, and augmented worlds, Bonniol takes the helm of ACT's growing video and interactive technology areas. The appointment is a major get for ACT, which began as a lighting-oriented company and has recently moved into video and sound as well. In this newly created role, Bonniol will lead product development, uniting the capabilities of Green Hippo and tvONE under ACT's umbrella. (ACT purchased the brands in December 2023.) His mission is to expand ACT's reach in this market sector. "Bob doesn't just think outside the box -- he builds whole new boxes, and turns them into audience engagement engines," says Ben Saltzman, CEO at ACT Entertainment. "We're beyond excited to have him join the team as we define the future of live, immersive, and digital entertainment." Bonniol's career includes Emmy Awards, multi-media spectacles for the likes of Billy Joel, Hip Hop50, and Megan Thee Stallion, and the creation of immersive mega-events at venues like Sphere, TED, and Disney World. "I've always been obsessed with experiences that transcend the ordinary and are truly immersive," he says. "Joining ACT gives me the opportunity to help shape the tools that make those experiences possible -- tools that can turn a concert, a building, a festival, even a sidewalk into a canvas for wonder. The potential of bringing Green Hippo and tvONE together under one creative and strategic vision is immense, and I can't wait to dig in."
