VTR appoint Sturgess to new post of Facility Director

Commercials and digital film postproduction facility VTR have appointed former advertising producer Kate Sturgess to the newly-created senior management post of Facility Director.
Sturgess joins VTR with a pedigree in advertising gained at high-profile agencies including BDH TBWA and Fallon, and postproduction facilities including VTR itself and Big Buoy.
She brings significant production experience to VTR having worked on a range of creatively driven, award-winning campaigns including Lee Jeans, Umbro, Sony, United Airlines, Radio1 and BBC1.
As Facility Director Sturgess will have a place on VTR’s board and will assume responsibility for the day-to-day management and marketing of the company’s digital post-production facilities. Her appointment will enable VTR Managing Director Anthony Frend to concentrate on the development of other commercial interests for VTR, including the expansion of its successful D-Cinema division and additional opportunities abroad. Sturgess will report to Frend and joins on January 5 2004.
“VTR is well-known as a creative, agency-friendly company and Kate’s direct experience will be invaluable to us moving forward,” said VTR Managing Director Anthony Frend. “Her energy and enthusiasm for advertising are infectious. She understands the dynamics of advertising production – a distinct advantage for a facility in this day and age – and she will make a very able support to me as our new Facility Director.”
Sturgess added: “This is a fabulous and exciting opportunity. Along with impressive facilities, VTR employs some of the industry’s most talented people, and I look forward to working with Ant and the team. If anything I want to reinforce the message that VTR’s talent and technology resources can give advertising clients the confidence they look for during all stages of the postproduction process.”
