People on the Move

Editor Charlie Harvey, currently based at Whitehouse Post in London, is moving to the company’s L.A. office. Harvey is already familiar with her new roost as she’s been making increasingly frequent trips to the West Coast to cut spots for such brands as Adidas and Gatorade. Earlier this year, Harvey won an Editorial category honor at the AICP Show for her work on Powerade's “There’s Power in Every Game–Nico’s Story.”

Harvey began her career as an editor at M&C Saatchi and spent three years at Willcox & Willcox before joining Whitehouse Post in 2007. Known for her kinetic editing style, she has built an impressive reel working for brands such as Nike, FIFA, INTERSPORT, Foot Locker, Volkswagen, and Pepsi. Through her work for agencies including TBWA\Chiat\Day, 72andSunny, BBDO, and Wieden+Kennedy she has forged relationships with directors AG Rojas, James Frost, The Malloys, and Tristan Patterson.

Harvey’s portfolio spans a wide variety of mediums including commercials, a feature, music videos, and documentaries. In addition to the AICP Show win, Harvey’s work has been awarded at the D&AD Awards and The One Show.

Lisa Hutt has joined cloud video platform provider Aframe as chief marketing officer. In this newly created position at the company, Hutt will be responsible for Aframe’s global marketing strategy, thought leadership, brand awareness and new market growth initiatives.

Hutt’s appointment follows a career in consulting and marketing management with cloud vendors such as Salesforce.com, RingCentral and Concur where she managed European awareness and demand generation programs during critical growth periods. 

Aframe has enjoyed a robust year on year growth since its launch five years ago. With a customer list that includes the BBC, VICE Media, Fox, Nine Networks, Zee TV and A+E Networks, Aframe expects it will once again double its year on year revenue in 2015. With Hutt’s appointment, and the recent expansion of its global sales force, the company is now well poised to take advantage of new growth opportunities, especially in the corporate sector:

“Advances in mobile and digital technology means buyers and consumers can now consume information and content in their most trusted and preferred format--for many, that’s video. Corporations that have the agility to shift their resources and technology to become video-centric will increase their chances of thriving against the backdrop of this new buying behavior. The market opportunity for video is huge and Aframe, with its heritage and reputation in cloud technology for broadcast, is uniquely positioned to help corporations adapt,” said Hutt.

Working alongside Aframe CEO David Peto to help lead the product roadmap strategy for Aframe’s spring and fall software releases is Gary Dunn, founder of boutique technology consultancy Augmen Management. A senior entertainment and technology consultant with a 25-year track record​ gained across a breadth of technologies from telecommunications to interactive entertainment, Dunn is assisting Aframe with the development of cross-industry solutions.

“The corporate sector is embracing video at an unprecedented rate. Unfortunately the ways in which many organizations are currently set up to optimize their use of video are inefficient,” said Dunn. “By adopting a single, centralized system that is accessible across departmental and external business boundaries, organizations can truly optimize their media content and allow it to be shared, repurposed and ultimately seen by relevant audiences, easily and effectively. With a robust and secure media collaboration platform that protects brand IP, companies can finally make the most of the opportunity that video brings.”

As the former founder and creative director of Farfar, Plyhm created one of the most inspirational, digital integrated agencies to have come out of Sweden.

Chris Catling, head of deltatre UK, said: “Anders’ appointment is an extremely exciting one for us. His award-winning experience and innovative approach to all he does, is a perfect fit for deltatre. His passion for anything new, being brave, finding new insight and new ways to move people, will inject fresh inspiration, passion and creative thinking into all we do here.”
