Droga5 London has appointed Peter Montgomery--who has worked with the agency as a freelance executive producer since 2016--as head of production. He replaces Chris Watling, who leaves the agency at the end of October.

Montgomery will work across all clients and report to Droga5 London CEO Bill Scott in his new role, starting on November 1.

As a producer with the agency, he has been behind award-winning work, including Amazon Prime Video’s “Great Shows Stay with You” campaigns; the recent Amazon Alexa “A Voice is all you need”; and campaigns for Setapp and Rustlers. 

Previously, Montgomery worked with 72andSunny in Amsterdam, where his credits included producing the global Axe “Find your Magic” campaign. His prior roots were BBH and M&C Saatchi, as an EP and sr. producer.

Montgomery said, “Droga5’s relentless drive to put the very best creative work into the world is a constant source of inspiration. The agency also happens to be home to some of the nicest people in the industry. I’m very excited to be officially joining them to work with their incredibly talented production team and all their production partners.”

David Kolbusz, chief creative officer, added, “Peter has been behind some of the most famous, beloved work that Droga5 London has produced. From our original Rustlers epic to the most recent SetApp campaign, his passion and taste are invaluable assets to the creative process. I eagerly await to see what he does with the bigger departmental canvas.”
