ALEX GREGORY SAYS, STOP! HARBOR TIME!
13 September 2024

Harbor's new Executive Creative Director of Advertising Colour, UK, is none other than Alex Gregory. With him and Charlie Morris, Head of Advertising Colour Production, in place at last, Harbor are in a bullish mood.

Dan Bennett, Harbor's Managing Director of Advertising in the UK, says: "Alex has a track record of building incredible teams to service high-end filmmakers on these shores, and crafting colour for iconic, award-winning campaigns. I'm thrilled to have Alex join us to shepherd the growth of Harbor's advertising colour grading department in the UK."


"In partnership with Harbor CEO Zak Tucker, we have set out to build the UK's premium advertising post-production house," adds Bennet, "supporting clients from set to screen with colour, VFX, design, VO casting, sound, and music supervision." Sounds like Gregory's walked into a veritable hive of activity.

And does the man of the hour have to say all about it all? "As a brand, Harbor is at the forefront of where creativity meets technology, and the quality and consistency of its work across both entertainment and advertising speaks for itself. I'm incredibly excited to join the team and for all the plans we have in place already.

"The international roster of colour talent is second to none and I'm both humbled and excited to not only be a part of it, but also to be tasked with helping to grow the UK's Advertising offering across colour and VFX at the same time."
