Red Lorry Yellow Lorry’s Los Angeles director, Kim Willsher, will lead the lorries’ account teams in Los Angeles and London.

“We look forward to tapping the lorries’ expertise and data-driven approach to bolster our powerful Panavision brand story with both our core community and a broader audience,” said Lesley Kantor, chief marketing officer at Panavision. “The lorries’ proven track record in expanding the media reach of the B2B brands they support combined with their on-the-ground presence in our two biggest markets position us well to achieve our goals.”

Eaton, director of North America, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. “Having serviced jobs that include Academy Award-nominated films like Ford v Ferrari, and high-profile OTT shows like Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, Panavision has an exciting story – and one that we can’t wait to help them tell. The lorries’ one-team approach across North America and Europe will give Panavision consistent strategy, messaging, execution and reporting as we expand the company’s brand awareness across multiple regions.”
