Donna Hampton Joins Telecine
Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
Donna Hampton has joined Telecine as managing director, effective immediately.
A longtime friend of James Fine, president of Telecine, and his partner Chantal, Hampton came from Australia last summer to vacation AND decided to make Montreal her home, leaving the two offices of her own Capitol Productions firm in Sydney and Tokyo in capable hands to devote her time to “this new challenge.”
She is also the incoming president of IQ, the International Quorum of Motion Picture Producers, an organization of 87 members across 46 countries.
“My background is as a producer,” said Hampton. “This includes providing brand strategy, marketing and advertising along with production execution, budgeting and scheduling for a range of brands such as Coca-cola, McDonalds, Volkswagen and Toyota. I have worked with budgets from $30,000 to $4 million for any single project, producing material across all media platforms – and now with a focus on digital signage.
“I am looking forward to working more closely with Telecine clients in determining their wants and needs – and then offering how best we may assist and work with them. It is the complete involvement that I most enjoy: from establishing the brief – to conceptualizing – the production process – and then the installation . It’s great to see a project come to fruition – and then, of course, to realize the results, to work with our clients in achieving what their own ROI may be.”
While we had met Hampton while she was vacationing last summer, we met again at DSE ONE during New York Digital Signage Week, her second day of the job.
“I’m having a wonderful day – meeting so many people that are so engaged in their industry,” she said. “It appears to be exciting times with the realization and understanding of the many opportunities that DS technology offers.
“This is where I may be of most benefit to our clients: in creating creatively entertaining content specific for our clients’ brief.”
