Priscilla Colón has joined NYC-based film and branded content studio Bindery as head of post.
Colón will be responsible for running the post department, which includes managing a team of full-time and freelance staff and collaborating with the creative and production departments to execute on Bindery’s integrated script-to-screen model where creative, production and post come together under one roof. She will work across a variety of Bindery clients, including Google, Roman, and Bombas.
“Priscilla is a natural leader. She has a clear drive to make the best work, and a desire to be a true partner to our clients and collaborators,” said Bindery founder Greg Beauchamp.
Colón joins Bindery from global production agency Craft Worldwide, where she spent over three years as sr. producer. While there, she led the Chick-Fil-A post team and produced content for clients including Microsoft, Mastercard, and Coke.
Prior to Craft, Colón started her career as a music and radio producer at JWT NY before moving over to video production at BBDO NY. There she spent a number of years producing content for Starbucks, Gillette, and Visa.
Colón said, “Getting post into the conversation at the jump is just one of the ways Bindery ensures a seamless workflow and beautiful, relevant work.”
