Hybrid AI production studio Elevado has appointed Bryan Farhy to serve as its managing director. Farhy will own Elevado’s commercial function--leading new business, go-to-market strategy, and studio growth--as the studio expands its roster of agency and brand partners.

The hire marks a deliberate next step for Elevado which was launched in 2025 under the Saylor umbrella. Elevado has built a reputation for hybrid workflows that fuse AI with live action, animation, and VFX for clients including Johannes Leonardo, Prime Video, Adobe, Netflix, Apple, Universal, and Hilton.

“We’ve spent the last year proving the work. Now we’re building the business to match it,” said Rupert Cresswell, co-founder & chief creative officer, Elevado. “We’re not bolting AI onto old production models--we’ve built an entirely new one. Bryan has spent his career translating exceptional creative into exceptional partnerships, and he does it with taste. He’s the right person to put Elevado in every room where the most ambitious advertising work gets decided.”
