In addition to shepherding thousands of commercials, he trained and inspired hundreds of young producers, directors and writers who populate the business today.
Always looking towards the future, Yagoda foresaw the future of new media when he pioneered the concept of "branded-content" with his creation of the long running and critically acclaimed "Dreams" project in collaboration with SONY. "Dreams" was a program of Hi Definition short films created by top directors such as Noam Murro, Bryan Buckley, Sam Bayer and James Gartner using SONY's cutting edge technology. The "Dreams" project premiered in New York, Los Angeles and at the Cannes film festival and continued its successful run for four consecutive years.
