New Hires

Amplify welcomes Emma Cockeram, who joins as Business Lead working across YouTube, Jack Daniel's and one of our recent wins. Cockeram's background is in talent and she joins the team from First Access Entertainment where she was previously VP Brand Partnerships and prior to that David Beckham Ventures.

This year we're making a big push the already high standards and breadth of our design capability as we push into new and exciting areas. A key recruit as part of that is Neus Rodriguez, who joins us as Senior Designer. Neus previously worked with Mario Testino, Exposure and Hotel Creative.

And finally, architect Rob Berry, who had previously been freelancing with us, has decided to make Amplify his permanent home as Design Director. Rob is a classically trained architect from the RCA with an MA from the School of Architecture and has worked with Amplify on YouTube Music 'In Residence', Google Pixel 3's 'Curiosity Rooms' and Facebook 'F8'.

Prior to Amplify Rob has worked on projects as far and wide as the permanent exhibition at the Design Museum to the Virgil Abloh x Ben Kelly collaboration Ruin at StoreX.
