Michael Melluzzo - Creative Director

When Mission Control was founded in 2001, the partners sought a creative force with a background in corporate/consumer advertising who could bring a fresh look and unique perspective to political mail. When they couldn’t find such a person, they grabbed a man walking past their office and offered him the job. Enter Michael Melluzzo.

Michael formerly served as Art Director at O’Neal and Prelle, a prestigious Connecticut firm, and at Maher/Hartford, Inc., where he created national and local ad campaigns for such diverse clients as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Toyota, Duracell, in addition to gaming projects for the Connecticut Lottery and Foxwoods Resort Casino.

While at Mission Control, Michael has been awarded dozens of “Pollie” Awards for his political ads and has been a key reason behind the electoral success of Mission Control. His presence around the office is underwhelming to say the least.

A devoted boater, Michael spends every possible minute away from work on his boat, the Kimberly V, patrolling the waters of Long Island Sound. A devoted husband and father, he spends every minute away from his boat with his family.
