Sylvia Gomez
Creative/Founder
Former news anchor. Lifelong storyteller. Founder of Aviana Productions. Basically, your media fairy godmother.
She spent years in the spotlight—anchoring the news for CBS in Chicago and reporting for NBC across the country. She covered everything from breaking headlines to big political moments, all with heart, hustle, and a serious eye for the truth.
Now? She’s flipped the script.
Sylvia helps bold voices step into their power—on camera, on stage, and in the moment. She brings sharp instincts, deep media chops, and a whole lot of passion to coaching the next generation of speakers, leaders, and changemakers.
Her mission: help people own their voice, command the room, and rise with integrity in the spotlight. (And maybe have a little fun doing it.)
She’s been behind the desk, in front of the mic, and now she’s helping others take the lead.
Same fire. New mission.

Jon Duncanson is a battle-hardened storyteller with an Emmy in one hand and a camera in the other — part war correspondent, part Silicon Valley whisperer. He has turned his lens on collapsing regimes and rising brands alike, whether reporting from tsunami-struck Indonesia or crafting high-stakes messaging films for Stanford, Intel, and presidential campaigns.
At the helm of Aviana Productions, Jon doesn’t just build narratives — he wins with them. Thirteen marketing awards in a single year? Check. Helping birth a City-of-the-Future? Check. Coaching executives and thought leaders with a no-fluff, tell-it-like-it-is style? Absolutely.
He is the rare hybrid of creative and strategist, artist and tactician — driven, demanding, and deeply intentional about excellence. His work doesn’t whisper. It reverberates. He brings the same lens to a sunset that he does to a riot: one that asks why, how, and what connects us. It’s no wonder his storytelling resonates across boardrooms, battlefields, and big screens.

OUR WORK
WHO WE WORK WITH
The global consulting company wanted creative ways to present their cutting-edge best practices. Working with several different divisions & ranging budgets, we designed & managed large scale, set-building, multi-faceted productions with many moving parts, as well as, small scale, quick, as well as last minute, guerilla-style pieces. In all cases, AVIANA turned the "normal" upside down and delivered pieces that were unique and engaging.
Preston Development is building a city of the future, from the ground up. As a successful regional development company in the Research Triangle of North Carolina, the team had never before found the need to market themselves. We were tasked with coming up with a compelling & dynamic video series that would help this innovative city attract investors, developers, buyers and the hearts & minds of the community.
Getting up in front of people is hard--even for professors and Academics who are used to presenting. No one wants to be the speaker that bores an audience. Our mission was to help the staff & professors work on their skills as communicators and presenters. We designed workshops and methods to achieve their goals of being engaging and dynamic leaders & and in some cases, fundraisers.
The founders of this brash software development company weren't convinced the use of video in their arsenal was necessary. They wanted metrics that didn't yet exist. Our task was to help them define their culture pre-IPO. Our mission was to show that a great communicator knows how to tell a good story. And everyone leans in to a powerful story. It's an innovative way to help investors and buyers understand how a product can disrupt and change the world. Communication + Story + Great product = the most successful IPO of 2015.
