About me

Lora Schulson is a production leader who helps turn ambitious creative ideas into culturally resonant, award-winning work by combining craft, innovation, and modern ways of making.

As a founding leader of the 72andSunny New York office, a key member of the North America leadership team, and now Global Chief Production Officer, she helps shape the agency's production vision, build high-performing teams, and ensure its creative output consistently delivers on its ambition.

Over her 20+ years in Production, she has partnered with some of the world's most ambitious brands to deliver award-winning and culturally resonant work, recognized by Cannes Lions, Emmys, Clios, One Show, Webbys, Andys, AICP, and more. She was most recently nominated for Ad Age's Head of Production of the Year 2025, has been on a Cannes Lion panel on Future of Production and she has also been included in The Adweek 50, Adweek's Creative 100 List and Business Insider's 30 Most Creative Women in Advertising.

As a lifelong learner and entrepreneurial leader, Lora has built and mentored top-tier production teams who are the ultimate possibility makers, bringing creative production strategies to complex problems. She consistently pushes the boundaries of the new. She believes to get to more creative and authentic work you need diverse perspectives, and is committed to the ongoing fight for equal and diverse representation in the industry - through production and in the work.

A native New Yorker raised in SoHo, Lora's childhood dream of becoming an art curator and/or lawyer have uniquely informed her production career, blending artistic vision with strategic problem-solving. She currently lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two kids.
