Kate Morrison has been upped to head of production at BBH New York. Morrison has been with BBH since 2014, and in her new role will join the New York management team and oversee all production out of the NY office.
During her previous roles at BBH NY, Kate has been an executive producer, and most recently head of content production, where she oversaw all film production for the NY office. As well as leading the department, she has worked on multiple client campaigns, which include Axe’s “Hotel,” and PlayStation’s “Star Wars Battlefront” and “Perfect Day,” the latter of which won Gold at Cannes and Silver at the ADC.
Prior to joining BBH, Kate worked at twofifteenMcCann; Butler, Shine, Stern and Partners; and both 180 offices, on brands such as PlayStation, Axe, Xbox, adidas, Under Armour, Sony and Nike Jordan.
John Patroulis, BBH New York creative chairman, said: “We put production at the heart of our creative process, and Kate is one of the most creatively driven producers in the industry. She’s been a driving force behind a lot of famous work, and has done it by focusing on the best possible expression of an idea no matter the timings or hurdles or budget. We couldn’t be more excited about her taking the lead of an already great production department and helping it continue to rise, affecting the work, the growth, and the culture of the agency itself.”
Morrison said, “We have an amazing production team here at BBH and I have faith in them to make any sort of impossible, possible. I am honored to be their steward and I look forward to continuing to work alongside John, Ari [NY chief creative officer Weiss] and the rest of the BBH team to make the sort of work that makes us all proud to get out of bed in the morning.”
