Independent creative studio The Embassy announces that it has partnered with management company and creative consultancy Apostle for representation across the US east coast.
With a network of strategic partners based across New York and beyond, the Apostle team match talent with agencies, brands, and creative companies alike, and boast an outstanding reputation as business development specialists in the east coast advertising market.
The Embassy has always competed against some of the biggest houses in commercial visual effects, and has so far won a larger market share on the west coast and in the midwest. Building upon their budding portfolio of east coast projects, the studio will now utilise Apostle’s experience and connections to further spread the news of its capabilities to a new market.
Kenny Solomon, EP at The Embassy, comments, “I shared many years of success at my previous studio with Apostle’s managing director, Carl Forsberg, and talent representative, Justin Lasoff, so this is a welcome reunion. It's clear they understand how we operate and think like producers, which is invaluable to agency clients these days. We’re so excited for them to help us introduce our specific brand of services to the east coast advertising community.”
Carl Forsberg, managing director at Apostle, adds, “Having long represented some of the largest visual effects houses, where features were often a primary focus, we’re so excited to introduce The Embassy to our clients. It offers a boutique approach, while still being able to compete creatively with any of the bigger shops. We’re long time fans, and have heard such wonderful things over the years from east coast agency producers and creatives that when the opportunity to partner up presented itself, we jumped at it.”
Justin Lasoff, talent representative at Apostle, adds, “As accomplished as The Embassy is, we still see them as a fairly untapped resource with so much more to offer. We know that east coast agencies will be as impressed as we are by their talented artists and producers, many of whom have worked together for over a decade, giving the team a warm, almost familial atmosphere. From founder Winston Helgason to EP Kenny Solomon, with whom we’ve had great success in the past, we know our clients will be in the best of hands.”
