Evin Shutt    

Chief Operating Officer and Partner at 72andSunny

As the first employee and only female partner at 72andSunny, Evin is a pillar of the agency and has led its evolution since Day 1. Equal parts creative business leader, strategic thinker and project manager, Evin created the prototype for a new species of "account person" - a role that has helped 72andSunny navigate the previously unchartered intersection of tech, advertising and Hollywood. Evin's golden touch has infused countless campaigns with brilliant innovation and produced prolific success -- from introducing Google's Talking Shoe to re-defining the music distribution model with Samsung and Jay Z, to generating a high-end baby market for Bugaboo, and, year after year, shattering records for the Call of Duty franchise. She also knows how to build a winning team, as showcased in marquee new business wins such as Tillamook, Starbucks, and Smirnoff.

Evin represents a significant piece of the agency's foundation and has managed to keep 72andSunny grounded and conserve its optimistic culture while scaling the business exponentially. During her 10 years at the agency, it has ballooned from 5 employees to over 450, and opened an office in Amsterdam thanks in large part to Evin's vision. From a cultural standpoint, she's indispensable: she has led the charge in constructing 72andSunny's production studio; been a key role in launching 72U, 72andSunny's one of a kind in-house training program; and helped plan an immersive Howard Hughes-themed theater experience for over 1,000 people at the grand opening of the new office space.

Evin is an educator-nurturer at her core. Not only is she a mom to twins, but she also taught in South Los Angeles as a member of the Teach For America corps, and the result is her rare combination of patience, tenacity and generosity. Originator of the agency's internal catchphrase, "culture people, culture," she's the first to rally everyone outside for much-needed beer after a tense situation.
