Helen Stanley, who was previously MD, commercials, now becomes MD of integrated advertising (worldwide). In November, Mike Woods – Framestore’s digital creative director – will be relocating from London to New York in order to bring his integration expertise to the U.S. market.
“This is yet another indication of how we are changing as a company,” Jon Collins, Framestore’s president of integrated advertising (worldwide), explained. “We began the transition over two years ago and both Mike and Helen have been an important part of that. We are now taking that to another level. These moves represent a continued desire to make the best use of our talent on a global platform. ”
Stanley’s new role will focus on ensuring full integration between London, New York and L.A. She will also play a key role in maximizing global resources while contributing to sales, marketing, new business and PR strategies and targets.
Woods has had a big impact on London’s digital department, with recent credits including interactive CG for Coca Cola’s “Polar Bowl” and experiential visual effects for Nestle “Fountain.”
“Having already got to know the guys in New York, I can’t wait to build a team that will both serve the local markets and work in conjunction with talent in all of our offices to strengthen our global reputation,” Woods said. “The digital side of our business represents some of the most exciting developments in the industry and it is a huge part of why we can genuinely offer an integrated solution to our clients.”
