Creative production studio Los York has brought Jeremiah Bual aboard its management team as head of talent.
Bual–who will lead the expansion of Los York’s global creative talent–has worked with production companies and agencies, including Wieden+Kennedy, R/GA, The Marketing Arm and Buck. He was most recently with the latter company.
Bual brings his vast network of talent, artists, and designers to Los York. His focus is on fostering young, diverse talent and aligning them with opportunities to collaborate on culture-defining creative work. Bual’s philosophy reflects the commitment of the Los York leadership team to drive forward progressive change, and lead the charge for creating the global, flexible workforce of the future.
“I’m very passionate about advocacy in the workplace and creating an environment where everyone feels welcome to create. I saw an opportunity at Los York to work alongside a leadership team that was fully aligned with this vision, and who wanted to challenge industry norms that are rooted in the past,” said Bual.
Los York’s managing director and partner Melina Osornio-Andrade, added, “As a fully remote company of global nomads, now more than ever we are leaning into our commitment to our people and culture. That’s what struck me first about Jeremiah; his ‘be who you are’ mentality empowers everyone around him to thrive and inspires a conscious culture of authenticity; that is his super power and we look forward to seeing him flex that muscle as we continue to grow our pool of talent.”
