Web Design & Development, Award-Winning Hollywood Multimedia, and Creative Marketing & Advertising

A native of Southern California, Michael Pace received his education at Santa Monica College and UCLA. While juggling two jobs during his academic pursuits, he began his career at Lorimar-Telepictures (now known as SONY) in the role of a production accountant.

Subsequently, he took on roles at ORION Pictures, followed by a stint at CAROLCO Pictures where he was part of the marketing team for Stallone’s RAMBO series and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s blockbuster films.

Michael began crafting ad copy for Disney, and soon after, JP Advertising recognized his talent, hiring him even before he graduated from college. For four years in Burbank, CA, he oversaw conventional creative advertising design and production, during the emergence of desktop publishing. On two distinct occasions, clients praised him for his contribution to their projects. These accolades made him contemplate his potential and eventually led him to establish EMA Multimedia, Inc. in 1991, recognized as Los Angeles’ first multimedia creative studio.

Thanks to his keen eye for upcoming talented artists, and his dedicated team of up to 30 members, EMA Multimedia, Inc. successfully digitally delivered over 400 interactive home video projects for renowned Hollywood movie studios globally. Their esteemed clientele included Columbia TriStar, SONY Pictures, BMG Music, Sony Wonder, SONY PlayStation, Pioneer, HBO Home Video, New Line Cinema, Universal Home Video, Fox Home Video, Disney, MGM Home Video, and Warner Home Video. EMA was instrumental in pioneering interactive on-screen menuing, motion menus, games, video special features, and other advanced components that bridged disc to web interactions. Recognitions for his work came from Entrepreneur Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, and Daily Variety, with A/V Multimedia Magazine ranking him #7 in their “Top 100 Producers” in 2001. However, in 2007, EMA concluded its corporate journey, and Michael returned to independent pursuits.

Today, under the moniker “Michael PACE Digital,” he offers a myriad of services from branding creation, digital strategy integration, web design and development, to web marketing promotions.

His niche lies in aiding CEOs and CMOs keen on expanding their brand visibility and sales. Michael boasts a formidable portfolio that includes enterprise-level web ventures for companies like ON24, SPLUNK, GoDaddy Open 2020, HuffPost’s LISTEN TO AMERICA, Carnegie Hall Medal of Excellence, CGI Clinton Global Initiative, Michelle Obama’s “Girls Day” event, Empire Entertainment events, and SONY Pictures Marketing.

As a seasoned creative producer and developer, Michael is adept at hosting and administering large-scale websites, with a proven ability to craft and oversee online web platforms. His strategy for escalating brand awareness and generating sales leads intertwines creative marketing, branding via social media, content creation, and active online presence. Furthermore, he extends his expertise to design projects for print and video, all seamlessly integrated within a broader marketing strategy.

In his downtime, Michael enjoys drone flying, photography, technology, videography, exploring digital trading cards, and blockchain trends, advocating for LGBTQ rights, and spending time with dogs.
