"Tyler has an extraordinary leadership track record, extensive strategic expertise, a unique ability to develop long-standing client relationships, and proven management experience in the production industry. I'm excited to have him on our team as we enter the next phase of growth for Visional," says Means, principal and head of creative, Visional.

Wise brings more than 20 years of sales, marketing, and leadership experience to Visional.

"My career to date has given me invaluable insight into identifying what is required to enable a fast-paced business like Visional to grow rapidly and achieve success in new markets. Success requires a strong focus on results, the ability to develop long-term client and partner relationships, and most importantly, the right people. We have a fantastic team and solid foundations already in place at Visional, and I look forward to leading the company to build upon these to take us to new heights," comments Wise.
