Laura Patterson - Executive Producer PS260
About
Laura Patterson has spent more than 25 years bringing structure to creative ambition.
Before moving into post production, Laura helped lead large creative organizations at MVBMS/Euro RSCG and DiMassimo Brand Advertising alongside creative leaders Jeff Kling and Mark DiMassimo, managing 60+ person teams in New York and Amsterdam.
It’s with these management skills that Laura was able to seamlessly jump over to the post production - starting with 3 years at Final-Cut NY, and since 2010, at PS260. Beyond producing award-winning work, Laura helped lead PS260's expansion into Los Angeles (2016) and Boston (2018). She currently serves as the Executive Producer of the NY Office.
Laura rolls up her sleeves with clients like Omnicom, Interpublic, Dentsu, Mythology, Anonymous Content, MJZ, RadicalMedia, Smuggler, Supermarché, and Park Pictures to produce highly recognized commercials for brands like M&M’s, Gucci, Harry’s, Google, Citi, Lowe’s, Dell, and JetBlue. Her work includes seven Super Bowl commercials—including one in 3D.
Laura's work has earned recognition from Cannes Lions, AICP Best of Show, Ciclope Grand Prix, Clio Awards, Nielsen's Best Recalled Ads, The One Show, and numerous industry publications. Most proudly, however, they’ve been recognized by her Dad, who brags about his daughter at his local pub.
