Director Kathi Prosser, who had been handled in the Southern Hemisphere by The Sweet Shop, has gone global with that production company except for Canada where she continues to be repped by Partners.
Prosser, who shifted her U.S. representation from Moxie Pictures to The Sweet Shop, explained, “With board flow now from agencies all over the world, it feels great to be managed by one boutique style company, a kind of macro micro approach to today’s global market.”
Prosser has directed work for assorted clients, including Guinness, Molson, Lux, Dove, Tresemme, Apple, AT&T and JCPenney. A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, she got her start in graphic design creating award winning album art for companies like BMG, Sony Music, EMI, and Columbia. This recognition allowed her to quickly move into motion graphics work where she created and designed opening title segments for CBC, CTV, and UPN. From there, Prosser took a leap into the director’s chair and created the Grammy nominated “Mega Mix” videos for Moby’s album, “Play”.
For four years, Kathi ran the multimedia firm The Wing Group. While there, she made several projects including the short films Death’s Fable, Fly or Fall, and the globally toured Horses Never Lie which won an American Choreography Award for Outstanding Achievement. Her television spots included a pair of Bessie Award winning, Partners-produced PSAs: The Looking Glass Foundation’s “Scales,” which cast a sobering light on eating disorders, for DDB Vancouver, B.C.; and SickKids’ (The Hospital for Sick Children) “You Got It” from JWT Toronto. Both spots additionally earned nods from Cannes and D&AD.
“Kathi brings a power to her work that is truly unique and expresses itself through all the elements of her craft,” said Paul Prince, The Sweet Shop’s CEO and founding partner. “It’s a privilege to be a part of this passion. I’ve been honored to be on Kathi’s management team for over ten years and am very pleased that this now continues globally.”
