REWIND Appoints Neil Evely as Senior Accounts Director

Evely, who most recently worked at The Mill, joins the award-winning immersive content studio REWIND as Senior Accounts Director.

Neil started his career at The Mill in 2001 as a runner, working his way up to Media Transfer Supervisor during his four years at the company. In 2005, he left The Mill to join global advertising and marketing agency Ogilvy & Mather, where he helped to establish its first in-house VFX department before taking on the role of Tech Director.

Neil then returned to The Mill in 2010, where he rose to become the Group Head of Product Development, responsible for creating a range of products - across software, gaming, and immersive technology - for both internal use and clients alike. Evely was instrumental to the development of Audi’s ‘Next Level’ game, The Mill’s first collaborative mobile app for a TVC launch and worked on the launch of Beam Pocket (a bespoke file sharing tool), The Guardian’s Underworld (a virtual exploration of subterranean London), and Neon Knights (a multi-person HoloLens game).

Neil brings to REWIND over 15 years of experience in the VFX industry, alongside his expertise in project management and business development.

“With Neil, we raise the bar even higher because he brings a depth of knowledge and a skill set that will add tremendous value,” said Sol Rogers, CEO & Founder of REWIND. “We work in an industry where progress is swift and constant, and Neil’s track record in identifying new technical and creative opportunities is beyond comparison, he’s a powerful new force in our business development and senior management team.We’re thrilled to have him onboard!”

Evely said “I have admired REWIND for quite some time (often from the losing side of a pitch!) as they excel at creating the seemingly impossible. I’m really excited about what we can achieve together and am looking forward to pushing the creative and technical boundaries even further.
