Raná heads to LA after launching the highly anticipated Boston office of PS260
Visual storytelling powerhouse PS260 has announced the addition of Raná Martin as executive producer in their Los Angeles office. Raná made her way back to Los Angeles by way of PS260’s emerging Boston office and now brings her years of experience and accolades to their west coast clients.
Raná began her journey with PS260 just prior to the pandemic, with plans to launch the highly anticipated Boston office of PS260 in early 2020. With the onset of Covid, Raná began working remotely from Los Angeles. Now, picking up post-pandemic as EP in the studio’s Venice office is both a natural transition and a new beginning.
Raná’s career spans 20 years and began in New York City, where she held roles at Lost Planet, Three Fingered Louie, Final Cut, and Cut+Run. Prior to joining PS260 in 2020, she was EP for Rock Paper Scissors in Los Angeles. With an innate passion for editing, Martin has worked from coast to coast with many of the best editors in the world. Through her undergraduate and graduate training as an editor, she developed a skill and respect for the craft of visual storytelling and her ardor continues to grow along with her insight into the needs of her editors and clients. In her roles from editorial and post producing to her current role as executive producer, Martin has built a vast resume including commercials, music videos, original content, narrative and documentary films, as well as fashion and art films.
Raná has worked with A-list brands and has contributed to projects for Google, Progressive, DraftKings, Bank of America, Apple, Netflix, HBO, Coke, Absolut, Nike, American Express, Geico, BMW, Cadillac, Toyota, and Meta, as well as a variety of music artists including Beyonce, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, David Bowie, Prince, and Tom Petty. Over the years, Raná’s work has been seen in coveted time slots and garnered many awards including the Super Bowl, Oscars, Emmy Awards, Grammys, VMAs, Cannes Lions, AICP Awards, AICE Awards, CLIOS, The One Show, and D&AD.
Says Raná: “I’m thrilled for the amazing opportunity to lead the LA office, after planting seeds for the Boston studio to grow. I’ve been blown away by the diversity and level of talent found at PS260. The seasoned team really collaborates with clients to create stories that are thought-provoking and inspirational. I’ve found an extended family and a loving home with PS260 and couldn’t be more delighted to lead the charge in LA.”
“Raná is outstanding in her expertise and drive,” says Zarina Mak, managing partner at PS260. “The wild journey at the onset of her coming on board with us has laid the groundwork for the flexibility, innovation, and outside-the-box approach that we most value at PS260. We couldn’t be more excited to see what she does with our talent in LA.”
Recent work out of PS260 includes a three-spot campaign for American Express Business Card Chronicles, edited by Maury Loeb and shot by Brian Beletic, which shortlisted at the AICP Post Awards for National Campaign. The Bunny spot won Bronze Clios for both editing and Business-to-Business, and is currently nominated for awards from the ADC and One Show. PS260’s recent direct-to-client work includes projects for Titleist, Audible, Mailchimp, Meta, Puma, and YouTube.
