    CHICAGO --

    Laughlin Constable (LC), an independent, full-service brand experiences agency, has hired Vincent Geraghty to serve as EVP, head of production at its HIVE Content Studio, overseeing the agency’s full integrated suite of production and content offerings.

    Geraghty previously held senior executive production roles at Havas, Ogilvy, Publicis Communications and Leo Burnett. Most recently, he had founded GPSG Geraghty Group, an independent full-service production studio, working with agencies, production companies and brands.

    “Vincent is one of those game-changing hires,” said Anthony Romano, CEO of Laughlin Constable. “His incredible reputation for building and running world-class production teams, combined with his high bar for creative excellence and his track record of doing award-winning work for iconic brands, makes him the perfect person to lead the big vision we have for what a modern content studio should be today.”

    Geraghty will run the HIVE Content Studio as an independent studio operation, supporting its own stand-alone portfolio of clients, while also continuing to serve as the in-house production arm of Laughlin Constable. The HIVE Content Studio has been gradually expanding over the last few years from a campaign postproduction outfit to offering a much wider and more versatile array of best-in-class videography, photography, animation, social and micro-content, and AI-generated content assignments.

    “I’m thrilled to start this new chapter in my career with the talented creative team at LC and HIVE Content Studio,” said Geraghty. “The agency’s bold ambition for bringing together tech innovations, craft, and lean operations to create a new standard for content at scale, aligns with my beliefs about what’s important for the future of content production.”

    Geraghty began at Laughlin Constable in May 2024. He has received creative awards for his work, including Cannes Film Gold Lions, Cannes Direct Gold Lions, AICP Next Awards, AICP Film Awards, One Show Pencils, Effies and Clios for global clients such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Kellogg’s, P&G, Altoids, Samsung and SC Johnson.

    Laughlin Constable has won a string of new client engagements recently, including True Value, Nordic Naturals, Good Food Holdings, North Shore Bank, Sherwin Williams, and Elevance Health, and recently won a 2024 Clio and a 2024 Effie for its work with the national non-profit, the ASPCA.

    Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer and whistleblower who helped train the artificial intelligence systems behind ChatGPT and later said he believed those practices violated copyright law, has died, according to his parents and San Francisco officials. He was 26.

    Balaji worked at OpenAI for nearly four years before quitting in August. He was well-regarded by colleagues at the San Francisco company, where a co-founder this week called him one of OpenAI's strongest contributors who was essential to developing some of its products.

    "We are devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news and our hearts go out to Suchir's loved ones during this difficult time," said a statement from OpenAI.

    Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on Nov. 26 in what police said "appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation." The city's chief medical examiner's office confirmed the manner of death to be suicide.

    His parents Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy said they are still seeking answers, describing their son as a "happy, smart and brave young man" who loved to hike and recently returned from a trip with friends.

    Balaji grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and first arrived at the fledgling AI research lab for a 2018 summer internship while studying computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. He returned a few years later to work at OpenAI, where one of his first projects, called WebGPT, helped pave the way for ChatGPT.
