Eve Ashwell Joins The Assembly Rooms

Award-winning London edit house The Assembly Rooms has announced that Eve Ashwell has joined the company as Editor and Partner in both Europe and the US. The signing adds another accomplished editor to the London roster and is a big step in the US market, where Ashwell already has a growing reputation for her stateside work.
 
“We are over the moon to be joining forces with Eve. It is really the perfect next step for us,” says Sam Rice-Edwards, Editor/Partner at The Assembly Rooms. “I have known Eve for a long time and seen her grow into one of the top editors in the UK. She is extremely talented, experienced beyond her years, and also a lovely person! I've always loved her work, and I'm excited about what we can achieve together."
 
The company has been active in the US market since the beginning of this year, when it brought on US Executive Producer Mary Knox, based in New York. Her representation company, Minerva Content, handles The Assembly Rooms nationally.
 
Ashwell is well known for both her comedy and narrative storytelling work, regularly teaming up with directors such as Daniel Kleinman and Pete Riski (Rattling Stick), Noam Murro (Biscuit), Charlie Crane (Knucklehead) and Mark Mulloy (Smuggler). During the past 12 years as an editor and partner at Cut + Run she won a multitude of honors, including recognition from the AICE Awards, British Arrows, D&ADs and the Creative Circle.
 
In the US, Ashwell has worked with such agencies as Deutsch, Wieden + Kennedy and Energy BBDO. Recent projects includes ads and content for brands such as Coca Cola, Ikea, Zillow, Axe and McDonald’s, as well as an emotive new spot for Wrigley’s Extra Gum that has received over 70 million views online.
 
“As soon as I met Eve I knew she would be a great person to work with,” says Nik Hindson, Editor/Partner at the Assembly Rooms. “Her dedication and creativity as an editor combined with her ideas and experience running a business make her the perfect partner to help us move the company forward in both the UK and the US.”
 
“I’m so excited to join Nik and Sam at The Assembly Rooms,” says Ashwell. “I’ve been a huge fan of theirs for years and always followed what they’ve been up to, so when it came to moving company, there was only one place I wanted to go. They have a very similar approach to work as I do, and the directors and creatives that they’re working with are some of the most talented in our business. They always keep the focus of the company on the quality of work and let everything else follow that, which is easier said than done, but has always been my approach too. They’re fantastic editors, and they’ve built a company filled with talented and lovely people. I’m very much looking forward to everything the future’s going to bring!”
