    NEW YORK --

    Figliulo&Partners (F&P) has hired Scott Vitrone as partner and chief creative officer. Becoming F&P’s sixth partner, Vitrone will lead the agency’s creative vision and report directly to founding partner and CEO Mark Figliulo.

    During his career, Vitrone has held group and executive creative director positions in New York at Barton F. Graf 9000, TBWAChiatDay, Wieden + Kennedy and Y&R. Winner of an Emmy and other industry awards, Vitrone helped shape work for a wide range of clients, including Nike, ESPN, Delta Airlines, Heineken, Target, Virgin Atlantic, Land Rover, Miller Brewing Company, Sprint and FedEx.
     
    Career highlights include the celebrated “Whatever’s Comfortable” campaign for Southern Comfort at Wieden + Kennedy and “Experience the Rainbow” for Skittles at TBWAChiatDay, a campaign that is still running today. 

    Vitrone’s hiring follows the F&P’s launch of its new media and communications planning unit, led by former Wieden + Kennedy group media director, Ryan Haskins, and comes off the back of a series of new business wins for the agency.
     
    “I’ve always wanted to work with Scott and I am really pleased to welcome him as a partner at F&P,” said Figliulo. “It’s an exciting time for the agency right now. We placed a bet from day one on being the best home for talent, so with Scott’s reputation and caliber, he’ll fit right in.”
     
    Vitrone said, “I admire the spirit of generosity and transparency that Mark and the partners have created at F&P. It’s a young, independent agency that’s clearly going places. I’m excited to get cracking and help shape the agency’s future.”

    Raoul Peck Resurrects A Once-Forgotten Anti-Apartheid Photographer In “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found”

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    When the photographer Ernest Cole died in 1990 at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer at a Manhattan hospital, his death was little noted.

    Cole, one of the most important chroniclers of apartheid-era South Africa, was by then mostly forgotten and penniless. Banned by his native country after the publication of his pioneering photography book "House of Bondage," Cole had emigrated in 1966 to the United States. But his life in exile gradually disintegrated into intermittent homelessness. A six-paragraph obituary in The New York Times ran alongside a list of death notices.

    But Cole receives a vibrant and stirring resurrection in Raoul Peck's new film "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found," narrated in Cole's own words and voiced by LaKeith Stanfield. The film, which opens in theaters Friday, is laced throughout with Cole's photographs, many of them not before seen publicly.

    As he did in his Oscar-nominated James Baldwin documentary "I Am Not Your Negro," the Haitian-born Peck shares screenwriting credit with his subject. "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is drawn from Cole's own writings. In words and images, Peck brings the tragic story of Cole to vivid life, reopening the lens through which Cole so perceptively saw injustice and humanity.

    "Film is a political tool for me," Peck said in a recent interview over lunch in Manhattan. "My job is to go to the widest audience possible and try to give them something to help them understand where they are, what they are doing, what role they are playing. It's about my fight today. I don't care about the past."

    "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is a movie layered with meaning that goes beyond Cole's work. It asks questions not just about the societies Cole documented but of how he was treated as an artist,... Read More
