Stink Studios Promotes Jacinte Faria to Managing Director in Los Angeles

The creative advertising and digital experience company Stink Studios today announces the promotion of Jacinte Faria to managing director in the Los Angeles office. Jacinte was brought onboard in 2015 to help open the LA office, building the studio’s infrastructure and hiring key team members. Starting as executive producer, she was promoted to director of production and now managing director. This announcement is a testament to Stink Studios’ dedication to investing in its one-of-a-kind talent, and Jacinte’s energy, attitude and dedication to growing Stink’s team and pushing the LA studio forward.

Jacinte is best known for her work on acclaimed projects including WeTransfer’s ‘You Make, We Transfer,’ as well as award-winning sites, apps, campaigns, and films for some of the world’s biggest brands including Google, Adult Swim, Netflix, McDonald’s, GE, and Facebook. Before Stink Studios, she gained experience at some of the world’s top agencies including FutureBrand, TAXI, B-Reel and ACNE. Her roster of awards includes FWAs, Cannes Lions, One Show Pencils, D&AD Pencils, and Webby’s. 

“Jacinte brims with a very difficult-to-find combination of enthusiasm and experience, and in doing so, models a positive, solutions-oriented working style to the rest of her team. In addition to being a great communicator and a general bringer of serotonin, she’s people-focused, detail-oriented, and deeply passionate about making great work. She’s someone that people instantly want to work for and with, and we’re extremely proud to see her take on this new role as Managing Director,” said Mark Pytlik, CEO of Stink Studios.

Outside of her professional experience, Jacinte is also a member and contributor to LOOM, a health education community in the LA area. She is also a founding member of SALA, a support group for parents in pursuit of honest parenting, joyous living, and continuous personal growth.

“I am excited to be continuing my creative journey with Stink Studios as Managing Director. I couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, hard-working, and truly unique team. Stink Studios is a place that I have been able to express myself creatively while working with some of the most talented people in the industry,” said Jacinte.  

Jacinte’s first project as managing director will be spearheading the release of the studio’s work with SERRA, a luxury cannabis brand launching in the LA market.  As Stink Studios pushes forward with aggressive expansion plans, Jacinte will also work closely with co-MDs Erica Kung and Nate Skinner in New York, as well as future leadership in San Francisco and Buenos Aires to ensure that all of Stink Studios’ American offices are working in service of its growing client roster.
