Derby Hires Eli Ash as Senior Producer

Derby welcomes Eli Ash as its newest Senior Producer. In this role, Eli will oversee production work for all of Derby’s agency and brand partners. 

Eli most recently hails from Complex Media where she was Supervising Producer, overseeing all daily production and operations of the company’s original content, and owned and operated content channels. Over the course of her career, Eli has straddled both the broadcast television and commercial worlds, having produced content for networks such as NBC, ABC, A&E, BBC, MTV, The Travel Channel, The Food Network, Discovery Science, PBS, Sesame Workshop and Viacom. In advertising, Eli has produced a number of commercial and branded content pieces for Warner Brothers Records, Nike, GM, BMW, The Nobel Peace Prize, OXFAM Crisis Action, GQ, Vogue, Complex and Vice Media, among others. Outside of Derby, Eli continues to flex her production skills, producing music videos, documentaries and short films with friends and colleagues in her spare time. 

“Eli has significant experience in production, post production and entertainment, all of which make her a perfect fit for Derby,” said Mary Crosse, Executive Producer of Derby. “In addition to her incredible production chops, her personality and relentlessness to create the best work for our clients is special, and something I could sense from the moment we met. I’m looking forward to her future at Derby.” 

“I’m thrilled to join Mary and the impressive roster of directors here at Derby,” said Eli. “The premium quality of projects that Derby creates, along with the vast group of fantastic directors, is what really drew me in. Production can be a strange, crazy world that sometimes only makes sense to those of us in it, but I truly love it and wouldn't trade it for anything.”
