It will be headed by Judy Linden, Business Development Manager, who brings with her over twenty years of experience in the production industry. She has been involved with iconic campaigns for brands like Apple, Target, Lexus, Corona and Adidas.

“With the opening of a west coast studio Taylor James now covers nine time zones; this will allow us to more deeply collaborate with auto manufacturers and their creative agencies,” said Keith Jeffery, Head of the Taylor James Automotive Division.
“We’re excited to have Judy and Fred get us started and we look forward to building a large, talented team in the LA market,” added Adam Isidore, Managing Director, “it is rich with amazing artists and talented agencies and brands.”
