Stept Adds to Sales Team on East and West Coasts

Los Angeles-based integrated production company Stept announces the addition of Ashley Ford and Susanne Kelly to its sales team. Their addition is an exciting development for the rapidly growing studio, whose work for clients including Oakley, The North Face, and Gatorade ranges from branded content and documentary shorts to television commercials.

Ashley Ford, the founder of creative partnership broker Friends of Ford, joins Stept as an independent rep handling West Coast sales in the Los Angeles office. Friends of Ford’s roster includes a variety of visual effects, sound and live action companies. Before founding the company, Ford worked in integrated advertising at award winning creative studio Framestore and as part of the sales team at Siobhan McCafferty & Associates.

Susanne Kelly, who is based in NYC, is in-house at Stept, a Sales EP with a focus on East Coast business. Before joining Stept, Kelly served as an Executive Producer for Rocket Film and as the East Coast Director of New Business and Sales for Aéro Film. Her clientele has run the gamut from music studios and mix houses to editing companies and fashion photographers, a wide-range approach and versatility she will continue at Stept.

Stept’s creative studio integrates a roster of director talent - including directors Jess Colquhoun, Nick Martini, Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, and Toby Wosskow - as well as full in-house post capabilities. Recent honours include Vimeo Staff Picks for “WC Jameson,” “The Litas,” and “Adventure Not War.”
