Production company CANADA, announce the appointment of John Rooney as Head of New Business for its UK operations.
Rooney joins the London office to spearhead strategic growth and forge new creative partnerships during a period of significant UK momentum, working closely alongside UK Managing Director Marta Bobić.
Before joining CANADA, Rooney cut his teeth at Friend, representing the likes of ManvsMachine and Hiro Murai. Before that a decade spent in the freelance trenches of the film, fashion, performance and equestrian worlds. Along the way, he mastered "thriving in chaos", developing a sharp intuition that has become trademark.
At CANADA, he will be in charge of building on CANADA’s well-established UK footprint, connecting world-class agency partners and brands with the directors’ signature visual flair and cultural impact.
“I’ve long admired CANADA’s, both the brilliant roster and the consistently exceptional work” says Rooney. “It’s an inspiring moment to come on board, and I’m so excited about what lies ahead, both for the company and for its growing presence within the London creative scene.”
“CANADA is at an exciting moment in the UK and globally, and I couldn’t be happier to have someone as creative and strategically minded as John on board leading new business and forging strong relationships. His optimism is infectious and his taste and creative ambition is spot on for CANADA and our roster, and where we’re heading as a company.”
