Absolute has announced the addition of Executive Producer Kayleigh Dugdale to its burgeoning team.
The latest in a line of impressive recent hires, Kayleigh joins the team from a previous EP role. Dugdale will work across all of Absolute’s departments, including Sound, Edit, CG, VFX and Colour, in addition to developing the production team in a period of growth for the business.
Starting her career in 2006, Kayleigh is a tour-de-force with over 18 years of industry experience. With heavyweight names on her CV, she spent her early years working across all aspects of post, from bookings to TV and commercial production. Kayleigh has gone on to become one of the most respected EPs in the business, working on many award-winning projects. Her reels boast a wide range of iconic brands, including Nike, Adidas, Samsung, Lancôme, and DHL, as well as collaborations with esteemed directors such as Adam Berg, Dom & Nic, David LaChapelle, and Traktor.
I am so thrilled to be joining Absolute Post as Executive Producer. It’s been somewhere that I’ve admired for a long time, not just for the creativity of their work, but also for their amazing company culture. There’s a real sense that we’re building something special here, and we are all striving for Absolute to become the place that talent goes to thrive and clients to come for the best work.
I’m delighted to be embarking on this new chapter with some exceptionally talented artists and producers, whose experience will be critical in shaping a fresh direction for the business. I can’t wait to get some amazing projects through the door and collaborate with more incredible teams.
Kayleigh Dugdale, Executive Producer at Absolute
Having been lucky enough to work with Kayleigh before, it was a no-brainer to bring her into our team here when the opportunity arose. Kayleigh’s reputation precedes her, and her versatility, knowledge and commitment to redefining post-production standards were a vital component in the success of [other] studios in both London and Amsterdam.
We know she is going to bring that same brand of innovation to her role here, and it’s going to be so exciting to see her continue to raise the bar. The recent additions to our team speak volumes about the ambition we have for Absolute and Kayleigh is a big part of bringing us realising those ambitions.
