AMANDA SCHULTZ

Director of Production &
Strategic Operations
I thrive on building out innovative capabilities. Whether it’s with in-house teams, in agency brainstorms, or for partner studios. Think of me as the go-to for turning 'what ifs' into 'done and delivered.' I specialize in untangling chaotic workflows, crafting actionable plans, and ensuring every ambitious concept and partner have their moment.

Vision to Venture Architect
With 15+ years of experience managing program and campaign production, I blend creative insight with project management expertise to deliver impactful solutions for clients ranging from start-ups to industry giants. I thrive on guiding cross-functional teams through the intricacies of digital-first projects that extend into content and experiential activations, maintaining clarity and momentum every step of the way.
Oh, and my cats will undoubtedly make surprise appearances in meetings.
