Droga5’s London office has announced the appointment of Chris Watling as the agency’s first Head of Production.
Watling joins Droga5 London after 10 years with BBH London working across award-winning campaigns for Axe, The Guardian, Weetabix, British Airways, Audi and Barnados among others.
In 2015, Watling’s success made him the obvious choice as Managing Director for BBH’s in-house studio, Black Sheep Studios. Working with CEO & EP Anthony Austin, Watling helped establish this new production unit and broaden BBH's creative output, including music videos for The Last Shadow Puppets and the critically-acclaimed short film “Home” starring Jack O’Connell. The film premiered at SXSW 2016 and will launch as part of UNHCR’s Refugee Week in June.
In his new role with Droga5 London, Watling will lead delivery across the agency’s growing client roster. The agency now counts Vita Coco, Hobbs, and Unilever to the list.
