Ammolite hires veteran producer Kirsten Arongino as their first managing director

Nava launched Ammolite in 2016 as a community of youthful makers who create integrated cross-genre experiences for brands and artists alike. One of the world’s most prolific and respected music video directors, Nava has been instrumental in forming long-lasting relationships with emerging artists and taking them to the international level. His diverse and influential work has gained worldwide acclaim, earning multiple major awards and nominations. Nava has collaborated and established an unparalleled trust with artists including Rihanna, Calvin Harris, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, and Eminem. Nava’s inventive approach to creativity is measured in dozens of billions of views and never fails to make a significant cultural impact.

Arongino says, “I first worked with Ammolite as a client, Emil directed a Gap holiday campaign I produced when I was at Yard. It was a fantastic experience and a glimpse into Ammolite’s unique strengths as a company. They are deeply connected to culture, and approach projects in a nimble, holistic way that moves at the speed and sensibility of our evolving business. The ability to solve problems in inventive ways is particularly apt at this moment. I’m thrilled to be working alongside Emil to expand on the superb foundation he’s built, and to be a part of bringing this array of diverse and unique voices, tastemakers, and storytellers to a wider ad and brand audience.”

“Our company mission has been evolving and Kirsten’s expertise will be key to driving the brand forward,” states Nava. “Kirsten and I have the shared desire to grow Ammolite and position us to service both traditional and non-traditional entertainment and advertising clients. Her depth of experience in navigating the brand and advertising world is a welcome addition to our team and will be key to bringing our unique vision to these spaces.”
