Plastic Pictures, the production agency of Ideas Shapers and Film Makers, announced today the promotion of Sam Gunn to Creative Director, UK and Spain, effective immediately. Gunn who has spent the last two years as Senior Producer/Director at Plastic UK, will now formally lead the agency’s creative department. In this new role she will champion its creative vision, accelerate its output and inspire its client experience. She will also focus on multi-market pitches to drive the European and LATAM growth agenda.
“I’m incredibly excited to step into the role of Creative Director. I look forward to continuing our mission to create attention-grabbing and impactful work for our clients, becoming an inspirational leader for our creative teams; and creating opportunities for us across markets,” commented Sam Gunn.
Gunn has worked on award-winning film-first campaigns for HSBC, PwC and Unilever and her insight-driven and innovative work has earned the agency the highest accolade ‘Production Company of Year’ at the EVCOM London Film Awards 2024.
Plastic Pictures introduced its creative director role after a string of project and client wins earlier this year resulting from competitive pitches led by Gunn. Agency Co-Founder and Executive Producer, Sara Cooper said, “Sam has been a true custodian of the Plastic Pictures spirit and sits at the centre of all our ideas – she is one of the best creatives I’ve worked with. Sam leans hard into insight driven creative and cross-cultural teams. As a result, she delivers a diverse, thoughtful and energised team of creative minds and ideas. Increasing her influence will benefit the work, our clients and our colleagues.”
Congratulations to Sam, and to the Plastic Pictures team!
