House 337 has appointed an all-female management team to run its integrated production department overseeing the London-based agency’s creative output.
Sue Lee-Stern and Victoria Fischer take up the joint roles of head of film overseeing all film, content and radio output. They will work alongside Liz Boothby who is promoted to head of project management and oversees stills photography, illustration and CGI. The three executives will jointly head the 40-strong production department, reflecting the collective nature of House 337 and report into chief executive Phil Fearnley.
Fearnley said, “The production department is the beating heart of any agency–they make the magic happen. So being able to put this brilliant team of women at the helm of production is exactly what we need to keep House 337’s creative output at the top of its game. They have the experience, the passion and the sheer tenacity to produce the sort of spine-tingling, mind-blowing creativity that brands need to stand out in the modern media environment.”
Before her appointment as joint head of film, Lee-Stern was a freelance executive producer at the agency and has worked alongside House 337 executive creative directors, Jo Moore and Leon Jaume, over many years.

One of her proudest achievements is the work she did on Dove’s Reverse Selfie ad, named the 2nd most awarded UK Campaign by WARC 2023.
Fischer was previously acting head of production at House 337 and over the past six months has overseen all the agency’s film projects including, Women’s Aid–which has been nominated for numerous awards.
