Tiffany Rolfe will be joining growth consultancy co:collective as partner and chief content officer, effective June 1. She departs from Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP+B), where she served as VP/executive creative director, heading up the L.A. office. The move to co:collective brings her to New York.
Rolfe began her advertising career at CP+B in 2002 as an art director and ascended to the helm of the L.A. office. At CP+B, she created renowned work for brands such as MINI, Burger King, Volkswagen and Virgin Atlantic. She served as creative director on “truth” and American Express OPEN and, most recently, was executive creative director on Old Navy, Microsoft, Grey Poupon, and Bolthouse Farms’ Baby Carrots. Prior to CP+B she was a partner in a web entertainment company, designing sites and media for Pixar, Walt Disney and Sony Pictures.
Her work has been honored nationally and internationally by every major award show including the Titanium and Grand Prix at Cannes, Gold at One Show and One Show Interactive, Gold Clios and Pencils at D&AD.
“Bringing another partner into the company is a significant event for us,” said Ty Montague, a co-founder of co:collective. “With her creative track record Tiffany could work anywhere she wanted. We feel lucky that she felt ready to step outside of advertising and try something new by joining us. The folks at CP+B are friends and collaborators….We’re having a great time working with them today and that will continue.”
Andrew Keller, CEO of CP+B, said the agency is “looking forward to partnering” with Rolfe at co:collective.
Rolfe related that her tenure at CP+B has been “educational, challenging, and incredibly fun. I hope to bring my lessons and experience to my new role at co:collective. Co is bravely pursuing a new approach for how brands, agencies and creative studios can work together. A unique opportunity like this was hard for me to say no to and something I think I’m prepared for thanks to working at CP+B. I look forward to helping extend co’s business and creating meaningful content and solutions for brands. Not to mention, co’s collaboration model also means that we can work together on projects with CP+B. So we will stay close, but this endeavor represents a new exciting phase in my career.”
Co: Collective was launched in September 2010 by Montague, Rosemarie Ryan (who are co-CEOs), Neil Parker (head of business strategy) and Richard Schatzberger (head of technology experience).
Oscar Nominees Delve Into The Art Of Editing At ACE Session
You couldn’t miss Sean Baker at this past Sunday’s Oscar ceremony where he won for Best Picture, Directing, Original Screenplay and Editing on the strength of Anora. However, earlier that weekend he was in transit from the Cesar Awards in Paris and thus couldn’t attend the American Cinema Editors (ACE) 25th annual panel of Academy Award-nominated film editors held at the Regal LA Live Auditorium on Saturday (3/1) in Los Angeles. While the eventual Oscar winner in the editing category was missed by those who turned out for the ACE “Invisible Art, Visible Artists” session, three of Baker’s fellow nominees were on hand--Dávid Jancsó, HSE for The Brutalist; Nick Emerson for Conclave; and Myron Kerstein, ACE for Wicked. Additionally, Juliette Welfling, who couldn’t appear in person due to the Cesar Awards, was present via an earlier recorded video interview to discuss her work on Emilia Pérez. The interview was conducted by ACE president and editor Sabrina Plisco, ACE who also moderated the live panel discussion. Kerstein said that he was the beneficiary of brilliant and generous collaborators, citing, among others, director Jon M. Chu, cinematographer Alice Brooks, and visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. The editor added it always helps to have stellar acting performances, noting that hearing Cynthia Erivo, for example, sing live was a revelation. Kerstein recalled meeting Chu some eight years ago on a “blind Skype date” and it was an instant “bromance”--which began on Crazy Rich Asians, and then continued on such projects as the streaming series Home Before Dark and the feature In The Heights. Kerstein observed that Chu is expert in providing collaborators with... Read More
