Sibling Rivalry, the independent creative agency known for its work with HBO on the launch of Legendary, Beats, and redesigning BET, recently welcomed Mitch Monson as the company’s new executive creative director and Burke Miles as creative director. 

“Welcoming Mitch and Burke into Sibling is a huge win for our team on many fronts,” Mikon van Gastel, co-founder, chief creative officer at Sibling says. “We can’t think of better, more experienced additions to our LA team than Mitch and Burke and look forward to all the energy, creative pedigree, and leadership they’ll bring to the table.”

“We’re all very excited for Mitch to join,” Darren Foldes, managing director / LA executive producer at Sibling says. “Mitch’s background speaks for itself, along with his leadership and access to top-tier opportunities has us all buzzing. Weeks away from Sibling moving into our first LA office, Mitch will be the perfect addition helping propel our expansion in the Wild Wild West.”
