ArtWorks at Work: An exclusive look inside NBC ArtWorks

Sam Mandragona, creative director for NBC Universal, will leave the network at the end of 2008.

Mandragona has spent the last two decades with NBC working on numerous projects, including designing the graphics for MSNBC’s launch, Decision 2008 and the network’s flagship programs “NBC Nightly News” and “Today” and garnering numerous awards, including multiple Emmys and BDA honors.
