She, along with our other senior producers, will insure that the creative at Spontaneous will continue to be matched by our service," said managing director Roe Bressan. Pillinger added, "Over the last four years, I've watched Spontaneous burst onto the scene with tremendous passion, creativity and drive. Equally important to me is the amazing group of people with whom I work every day. The combination of the two, the wonderful work and the talent, makes it a real pleasure to work here."
