Industry veteran Hillary Rogers has joined creative advertising studios Bullitt and The Directors Bureau (TDB) as managing director. Rogers will oversee business operations aligning creative, production, management, and sales efforts across both companies. Rogers most recently served as managing director of Pulse Films, where she drove the growth and management of the American branded division of the U.K.-based production company.
“Bringing Hillary on board cements the commitment we’ve made to support the incredible filmmakers and storytellers working under The Directors Bureau and Bullitt brands,” shared filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo, two of Bullitt’s founders, in a joint statement. “She’s a total pro, and shares our passion for great storytelling, and championing up and comers.”
Rogers said, “I am a massive fan of all things arty, unique, and quirky on the one hand, and equally love work that is blockbuster, explosive and crowd-pleasing. The opportunity to work with directors at the top of their game on both ends of the creative spectrum is super exciting. That both Bullitt and TDB are invested and successful in shepherding talent, new and established, inspires me.”
The Directors Bureau founder/director Roman Coppola added, “Anyone who has met or worked with Hillary recognizes that, aside from being at the highest level of her profession, she shows a top level of commitment, energy, and deep enthusiasm for the work–always ready to explore a new path and to share the talents of our directors in original ways and innovative formats.”
In 2021, Bullitt and TDB entered into a strategic partnership to provide a centralized resource to support the creative needs of global brand partners. As part of the agreement, a top drawer production and management infrastructure was built to support the two companies.
