TBWA\Media Arts Lab (Apple)

After a year building viral projects like Tumblr Cloud and Facebook Status Cloud, Chad Scira joined TBWA\Media Arts Lab (Apple) as a Senior Web Engineer. Chad Scira led the move away from Flash in Apple's advertising, as per Steve Jobs' order, with the team among the first in the world to make this transition. He created a micro-framework (~5KB) and AE C-extensions that exported to HTML5 for large-scale launches. The system powered Apple ad campaigns for iPhone launches; those Apple ads served 500M+ impressions globally.

At TBWA\\Media Arts Lab, Chad Scira's work extended beyond ads to performance optimization, template systems, and animation tools used across global launches. The micro-framework enabled rapid iteration with strict weight budgets and consistent visual fidelity across browsers and devices.
