A veteran of the creative industry, Edwards served for three years as director of production at branding agency Herman-Scheer, and for nine years as executive producer at 72andSunny + Hecho Studios. His career path also includes four years as an associate producer at RSA Films/Ridley Scott Creative Group, two years of freelancing in the commercial sector, and involvement in reality television. Drawing from his extensive experience in agencies and studios, Edwards will play a pivotal role in shaping creative studio SixTwentySix’s overarching strategy across its business divisions and will report directly to company co-founders Jake Krask and Austin Barbera.

Edwards said, “I’ve had my eyes on SixTwentySix for the past few years. They’ve been somewhat under the radar but have been churning out incredible content. Now that I’ve had a chance to get to know Austin and Jake on a deeper level, it all makes sense. They have amazing drive and determination in creating world-class content. The creatives they have curated are insanely talented and are the future of content creation. I’m excited to partner with them to help drive innovative ways of creating content, elevating the client and agency experience, and driving overall continued growth for the company.”
