Copacino+Fujikado has hired former Publicis Seattle CEO Scott Foreman as managing director. Foreman will oversee the independent, full-service agency’s day-to-day operations, including new business, account management, media and production. He will work alongside creative director Mike Hayward and report directly to co-founder Betti Fujikado.
Foreman joins his new roost after spending nearly 15 years at Publicis Seattle, where he was largely responsible for managing the agency’s ongoing T-Mobile relationship, in addition to the office’s day-to-day operations. Foreman was part of the initial team that relaunched T-Mobile nationally in 2002 and has been integral in some of the company’s most memorable campaigns, such as "Get More,” “T-Mobile Girl” and the current “Un-carrier” initiative. He also drove Publicis Seattle’s new business, helping win AOR appointments for the likes of Eddie Bauer, American Girl and Visit Seattle during his tenure.
Prior to Publicis, Foreman briefly managed operations for Gamers.com, an online portal for gaming enthusiasts that was live in the early 2000s. He began his career in the media department of Foote, Cone & Belding, working on the agency’s Mazda business and eventually transitioning to account management where he ran AT&T Wireless.
Director Kacper Larski Joins RSA Films For Spot Representation
RSA Films has added director Kacper Larski to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. Larski is known for his work in automotive and sport, and a style of filmmaking which features epic visuals and gripping montage, often combining the real and surreal. Among his most recent commercial films are Garmin’s “Fenix 8” (direct to brand), U.S. Army Reserve’s “Helper” (DDB Chicago) and Bushmills Whiskey’s “Follow No One” (Mekanism). He’s also directed campaigns for Hyundai, Jeep, GMC, Subaru, VW, Mazda and Chevrolet.
Larski’s distinctive aesthetic emerged in one of his first projects, Land Rover’s “68 Years Later,” which won a Cannes Young Directors Award in 2016. Two years later, he directed the “Greatness is Rare” campaign for BBDO Toronto and the Canadian Paralympic Committee which won Cannes Lion Gold. Prior to joining RSA, Larski had most recently been repped in the U.S. market by production house Eleanor.
“The camera and film for me have always been about the ability to live 1,000 lives,” Larski said. “Stylistically, I want to transport viewers in whatever stories I’m telling--a super athlete’s runner’s high, a skier’s dream powder, a giant’s tale, even driving in space.”
“Kacper is one of the most exciting filmmakers I’ve seen over the last several years,” said Luke Ricci, president, RSA Films US. “Whether it’s a character, an emotion, an environment, car or other product, he has a special and distinctive way of capturing and articulating the world around him in all his work. He is a fantastic addition to our RSA family.”
“Joining RSA is a dream come true,” Larski said. “The roster includes some of the best filmmakers in the world, with founder Ridley Scott... Read More
