RadicalMedia has brought Molly Griffin on board its management team as executive producer. Most recently an exec producer at Somesuch, Griffin has throughout her career teamed with A-list production companies, global advertising agencies, and award-winning directors. Griffin has produced campaigns for brands including Apple, The New York Times, Gatorade, NFL, Audi and Adidas.
Co-founded by Jon Kamen and Frank Scherma, RadicalMedia produces premium content across all media platforms. The fully integrated global media and communications company creates and produces television programming, documentaries, films, advertising campaigns, live events, immersive experiences, and original IP. Recent credits include the Oscar-winning documentary Summer of Soul as well as Hamilton on Disney+ and the advertising campaign for Pepsi’s Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show.
Griffin’s career started out at commercialmaking house MJZ where she went through production “boot camp” as an assistant working with director Marcus Nispel’s team. Over the next several years, she rose up the ranks working with directors such as Mark Romanek, Craig Gillespie and Fredrik Bond, among others. She moved to Minneapolis in 2010 working within the local commercial production community as an executive producer/producer, collaborating on and overseeing campaigns with advertising agencies and brands such as BBDO, Target Creative, Solve and 3M. Griffin relocated to Los Angeles in 2014, where she was head of production at Savage overseeing ad campaigns for both national and international markets. In 2015, Griffin joined Partizan Entertainment as head of production and worked with notable directors on their roster including Michel Gondry. Griffin quickly rose within Partizan, being promoted to executive producer/head of production and overseeing production on commercials for brands like Pandora, Amazon, AT&T, Taco Bell and many others. In 2019, Griffin joined Somesuch as its EP and won several awards including Cannes Lions and D&AD Pencils.
Griffin said, “I am truly honored to join RadicalMedia’s executive team. Back in the early days of my career, Radical was part of my production upbringing. Almost 20 years later, it feels like I have finally returned home. I have the utmost respect for Jon, Frank, Jim and the rest of the leadership team. They are trailblazers and visionaries that built Radical into the legacy company that it is. I look forward to being part of the next generation of Radical’s legacy, creating amazing work with our production partners and supporting the incredibly talented filmmakers that make up the roster.”
Jim Bouvet, SVP and head of commercials at RadicalMedia, said, “It has been such a joy getting to know and work with Molly. She has a wide range of knowledge across all facets of production and understands both agency creatives and directorial creative. It’s no wonder that she has strong relationships with agencies and directors and has a great reputation for being a problem solver. Molly will quickly become an integral part of the RadicalMedia family and we look forward to all the future has to offer.”
In addition to raising three children, Griffin is active in Fireflies West, the cycling charity that raises money for City of Hope, a leading cancer research center and hospital.
