Diego Medvedocky has been promoted to president of Grey Latin America. In addition, he will retain his responsibilities as chief creative officer of Grey Latin America and president of Grey Argentina. He will continue to work closely with Marco Milesi, CEO of Grey Latin America.
Medvedocky joined Grey Argentina as ECD in 2013. He was appointed CCO of Grey Latin America, overseeing the creative product across 14 offices in the region, in 2014. Last year, he was promoted to president of Grey Argentina.
Under Medvedocky’s creative leadership, Grey Argentina has doubled the agency’s revenue as well as the number of clients and has been awarded as “The Best Agency in Argentina” at the prestigious Diente Awards twice. Grey Argentina became the most award-winning agency in the market at national and international festivals for two years running.
The agency has made a major contribution to Grey Latin America’s creative renaissance: the region was named the Cannes Lions Regional Network of the Year, based on award performance, in 2017 and 2018.
Medvedocky said, “I want to work with Marco (Milesi) in the region and put it on top. But what I like most of all, is the message of the network of putting creativity above and at the center of the entire organization.”
Michael Houston, worldwide CEO of Grey Group, said, “Diego is one of the most recognized and awarded creative leaders in Latin America and beyond. He has put creativity at the heart of our operations and made it a growth engine. His passion and track record for building brands across platforms will serve us well in the years ahead.”
Carrie Coon Relishes Being Part Of An Ensemble–From “The Gilded Age” To “His Three Daughters”
It can be hard to catch Carrie Coon on her own.
She is far more likely to be found in the thick of an ensemble. That could be on TV, in "The Gilded Age," for which she was just Emmy nominated, or in the upcoming season of "The White Lotus," which she recently shot in Thailand. Or it could be in films, most relevantly, Azazel Jacobs' new drama, "His Three Daughters," in which Coon stars alongside Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen as sisters caring for their dying father.
But on a recent, bright late-summer morning, Coon is sitting on a bench in the bucolic northeast Westchester town of Pound Ridge. A few years back, she and her husband, the playwright Tracy Letts, moved near here with their two young children, drawn by the long rows of stone walls and a particularly good BLT from a nearby cafe that Letts, after biting into, declared must be within 15 miles of where they lived.
In a few days, they would both fly to Los Angeles for the Emmys (Letts was nominated for his performance in "Winning Time" ). But Coon, 43, was then largely enmeshed in the day-to-day life of raising a family, along with their nightly movie viewings, which Letts pulls from his extensive DVD collection. The previous night's choice: "Once Around," with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus.
Coon met Letts during her breakthrough performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?" on Broadway in 2012. She played the heavy-drinking housewife Honey. It was the first role that Coon read and knew, viscerally, she had to play. Immediately after saying this, Coon sighs.
"It sounds like something some diva would say in a movie from the '50s," Coon says. "I just walked around in my apartment in my slip and I had pearls and a little brandy. I made a grocery list and I just did... Read More
