WONGDOODY has hired Stacy McCann as its new sr. director of integrated production in Seattle. McCann will lead WONGDOODY’s new integrated department, managing print, broadcast, digital, and studio production teams in building content as one collaborative unit. She joins WONGDOODY from Creature Seattle, where she served as director of integrated production for four years, and previously spent eight years within WONGDOODY’s print production department.
“Advertising is constantly evolving, and formally establishing an integrated department will help us stay even more nimble in addressing our clients’ goals. I truly cannot imagine a better candidate than Stacy to lead this new initiative–she has a great vision for WONGDOODY, a proven track record with integrated production, and she brings out the best in everyone around her,” said Tracy Wong, chairman and co-founder, WONGDOODY.
“The boundaries in advertising are so fluid now that it makes more sense for agencies to pool their teams together rather than keeping them siloed based on discipline,” commented McCann. “WONGDOODY’s talent and size put us is in an excellent position to approach each project holistically and apply all of our best toolkits.”
McCann has produced award-winning work for clients including T-Mobile, Washington Mutual, Hewlett-Packard, and most recently led an integrated effort to rebrand the iconic Seattle Space Needle.
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
