They Call Me Mo.

Hello, my name is Monica Benitez-Gless, but people call me Mo.

As a versatile producer and creative media executive, I specialize in creating impactful brand experiences and leading high-level content for global campaigns—blending creativity with strategy to deliver exceptional results.

With 15+ years of experience, I’ve built a reputation for managing multidisciplinary teams, overseeing projects from concept to launch, and building cross-functional partnerships that drive both creative innovation and measurable results. My approach bridges creative vision with operational excellence.

Some of the most memorable moments in my career have come from transforming the DNA of top-tier brands into powerful stories that shape culture and are designed to resonate. I’ve led creative and production efforts for industry leaders including Apple, Formula 1, 20th Century Fox, YouTube Music, Coca-Cola, Converse, VICE Media, and The FADER—delivering branded entertainment, non-scripted and narrative content, commercials, digital campaigns, and experiential activations.

My work has been recognized by Cannes Lions (Silver, Bronze), the Webby Awards, Clio Awards, Emmy Awards, and the Women in Media Awards. I thrive on turning complex challenges into stories that matter—stories that not only win awards, but also move culture and deliver real impact for brands.

Always open to connecting with brands, teams, and collaborators ready to create what’s next.
