Studio RM Strengthens Its Commercial Offering with Jack McGinity and Mike Coley

Studio RM is expanding its footprint in the advertising world with the addition of senior colourist Jack McGinity and executive producer Mike Coley. Known for its high-end, artistic approach to colour grading and finishing, Studio RM is now setting its sights on offering brands and agencies an even greater level of creative excellence across film, print, and digital media.

A trusted name in commercial colour, Jack joins from Harbor Picture Company, with prior roles at acclaimed studios Cheat, Time Based Arts, and Rushes.

His ability to combine artistic sensibility with technical precision makes him a sought-after collaborator for agencies and filmmakers looking to create work that emotionally resonates.

Jack’s recent BAFTA-nominated projects include Sienna Miller-backed Marion (2025, OB42/Solab) with directors Joe Weiland & Finn Constantine and DoP Harry Wheeler, Rye Lane (2023, Searchlight) with director Raine Allen-Miller and DoP Olan Collardy, and Such Brave Girls (2023, BBC Three) with director Simon Bird and DoP Ed Tucker.

On joining Studio RM, Jack said, "Studio RM’s commitment to craftsmanship and collaboration aligns perfectly with how I work. Their reputation for elevating visuals through colour, across disciplines makes this an exciting opportunity to refine and expand my approach for brands that want to stand out."

Joining Jack is executive producer Mike Coley, who has worked alongside him at Cheat for many years. Known for his keen ability to build relationships and manage creative projects, Mike’s addition complements Studio RM’s ethos of collaboration and integrity. 

“Studio RM’s considered approach to colour and new business is unique within the UK market,” said Mike. “Their emphasis on quality and artistic integrity resonates deeply with both Jack and me. Together, we aim to build meaningful relationships while delivering work of the highest calibre.”
