Eyes and Ears bolsters team with new hires

AUCKLAND, Thursday: Eden-Terrace-based video proucer Eyes and Ears are expanding their pre-production and post-production teams to keep up with the demand for video content.

Director Calvin Sang said: “Eyes and Ears continue to get bigger, in the number of videos, size and complexity – zeroing in on the skills and reputation we have gained over the last seven years.”

The second half of 2022 saw the arrival of head of post Lee Parker-Stapleton (ex FCB, 99 and newly married), producer Paige Taniora-Brocklesby (Ngā Puhi, ex Drum), and editor Jake Hanley (ex Augusto and Supernormal).

“We’re fuelled by the opportunity to create positive change in the industry and make a difference that matters.”

The last few months have seen the arrival of senior producer Sophia Seaton (ex Insiders, Wellcom Worldwide and MediaWorks). This growth has also seen Briar Collard move from senior producer to general manager.

Sang: “Missing from the team photo are good girls Rocky and Maple!

“As we continue to grow and collaborate with new clients, we’re fuelled by the opportunity to create positive change in the industry and make a difference that matters.

“In the past 12 months, Eyes and Ears have also seen growth in our client portfolio, from agency and direct-to-client relationships with clients like Air New Zealand, Kiwibank, Tourism New Zealand, and Spark, and proudly earning preferred supplier status (All of Government, Ministry for the Environment and Auckland Council Group).”

• In late 2022, Eyes and Ears launched their annual wrap video. View it here: eyesandears.co.nz/year-in-review-2022/
