Eleanor President & Executive Producer, Sophie Gold has an unparalleled gift for championing revolutionary talent. She raises her voice – and uses her lovely British accent – for her global roster of visionary storytellers.

With an impeccable eye for taste, Sophie discovers the brilliant creatives who fearlessly and beautifully challenge the norm. Uplifting unexpected, diverse voices in a landscape that often rewards familiarity and prioritizes patronage is no simple feat. Yet, it is in the relentless fight for audaciously authentic artists that Eleanor has found its great success.

With more than a decade of experience in advertising, Sophie brings versatile expertise and entrepreneurial passion to her work.

With no choice but to be extraordinary, Eleanor’s portfolio gleams with bold originality. Sophie was honored with the 2021 AdAge 40 Under 40 award, a resplendent testament to Eleanor’s impact and Sophie’s leadership.

Born in France and raised in Great Britain, a rich tapestry of literary, cinematic, and cultural influences have shaped Sophie’s journey within the advertising industry.

Headquartered in Santa Monica and Soho’s Golden Square, Eleanor’s soul-stirring art and taste making influence stretches across oceans.
