We asked Anna what excites her most about the next 6 months, and what opportunities she sees ahead for the Technicolor Creative Studios brands:
“I am delighted to be joining Technicolor with the opportunity to capitalise on the ever-growing demand from global brands to work directly with our studios' world-class creators and makers. Looking at our recent work, such as HBO’s virtual event, The Tate’s AR experience and Riot Games’ VALORANT trailer, we are breaking new boundaries when it comes to offering brands new and innovative ways to connect with their consumers across multiple channels and platforms.
We are unique in being able to offer a truly end-to-end service from strategy and ideation through to creative production and immersive experiences at scale. This, combined with our award-winning creative credentials, means that we can partner with brands to produce truly impactful content across multi-media platforms that cuts through the noise and creates cultural resonance.”
