BBH London has appointed Rory Forrest as creative director of Black Sheep Studios, working alongside head of production Stephen Ledger-Lomas to drive creative output and commercial growth at the in-house production company. Forrest will move back to London from L.A., where he has spent the last eight years working as a creative director, writer and director, firstly for Mistress (which has since rebranded as The Many), and then at Fullscreen Media, the influencer representation and content agency. He was also at one point on the directorial roster of production house Monument. Forrest began his career as an art director at Grey London. At Fullscreen Media, Forrest created and directed suites of original branded entertainment for clients like AT&T and Mattel, most notably Guilty Party: History of Lying, and Hot Wheels Unlimited (which became the namesake of Hot Wheels’ biggest product line after the show’s success). He left Fullscreen in January 2020 to write his first published novel and to work as a consultant, while remaining signed as a director/writer at Monument. Black Sheep Studios is BBH London’s seven-year-old BAFTA-winning creative production studio. As creative director, Rory will be jointly responsible for the creative output of Black Sheep Studios, as well as contributing to its commercial growth. His remit includes attracting and securing projects directly from external and internal clients and helping Black Sheep Studios to continue its mission to grow as an innovative film production company….
