    MIAMI --

    Brenda Fell has returned to DAVID, this time as executive producer in its Miami office. She comes over from Leo Burnett Chicago. Fell had earlier in her career served as head of production at DAVID Buenos Aires. 

    Her addition is the latest in a recent infusion of talent at DAVID Miami that has included global chief strategy officer Paula Vampré, sr. copywriter Sarah Dembkowski and sr. art director Georgia Taylor. Fell will work collaboratively alongside EP Carlos Torres and report to managing director Ricardo Honegger.

    Fell will co-lead the production department with Torres, overseeing all global clients such as Burger King and Halls. At DAVID’s Buenos Aires office she worked on award-winning campaigns including MACMA’s “Man Boobs,” which raised awareness for breast cancer, and the Unilever campaigns “Speeches” and “Farewell to the Forest.”

    Fell left DAVID Buenos Aires in 2017 to move to the U.S. and diversify her experience which now spans experiential, AR/VR content and much more. She had stints not only at Leo Burnett but also at the community. In her 15-year career, Fell has worked at agencies including Ponce Buenos Aires and DDB, shooting all over the world for global brands like Coca-Cola, Verizon and Allstate, among many others. Her work has been honored with the Grand Prix at Cannes Lions, and recognition from the D&AD, The One Show, Clio Awards, London International Awards, and New York Festivals Advertising Awards competitions.

    The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman."
