SixTwentySix has added director Nolan Goff to its roster for U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content.
Goff’s affinity for storytelling can be seen throughout campaigns for Nike and Bumble, and his shot design and transitions have breathed life and rhythm into creative for brands like Peloton, LeBron James’ Ladder, Verizon, and Lululemon. Agencies that have enlisted Goff’s talents for their clients include OKRP for The Masters, Hogarth for Colgate, VMLY&R for Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Publicis for Nivea. His work has been recognized on numerous fronts, receiving Vimeo Staff Picks and features in Pitchfork, MTV, and Director’s Notes. Prior to joining SixTwentySix, Goff was repped in the ad market by CoMPANY Films.
In a joint statement, SixTwentySix partner and managing director Jake Krask and partner and executive producer Austin Barbera shared, “Nolan’s exceptional ability to weave stories and create compelling narratives aligns perfectly with our mission. His unique vision and creative prowess will undoubtedly augment our portfolio, bringing our storytelling to new and thrilling heights. Nolan joining SixTwentySix represents a commitment to the art of storytelling that we cherish deeply.”
Goff’s love of storytelling developed agency-side while working as a creative director for seven years at shops like Another and Matte Black. As a director, Goff couples a distinctive message-first approach to storytelling with a keen eye for the visuals that elevate it.
On joining SixTwentySix, Goff said, “It’s simple for me. I want to create great work and tell meaningful stories alongside talented, passionate friends and a team who are adapting to a fast-evolving commercial landscape. That’s what I see in them–it’s a group chat I want to be in and a team that is going to win.”
Recently, Goff directed The Masters’ first ever lifestyle campaign as well as the upcoming campaign for the United States Tennis Association. Currently, he is also in development on his feature directorial debut, I’ll Leave These Bones Behind, and the original, limited series Jesus Freak. In addition to his relationship with SixTwentySix for representation, Goff is handled by Ridley Scott Creative Group in Europe, Suneeva in Canada, and Aylene Gardiner in the Middle East and Asia.
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.

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.
