Vice President/Executive Producer
An Emmy Award-winning commercial veteran, Suzanne Hargrove is the Vice President/Executive Producer of PRETTYBIRD. She started her career in music videos before entering into advertising, where she quickly began producing high-end commercials, branded content, experiential, and new media projects. In 2024, she won Ad Age’s inaugural Creativity Award for Executive Producer of the Year.
Some of her most notable spots include award winning Nike “Unlimited Courage,” the Miu Miu short film “House Comes With a Bird,” Adidas “The Original Impossible” featuring the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, “Rise, Dead Man” for the video game The Callisto Protocol, and GoPuff “Lil Dicky Quartertime Show,” which premiered online during the first and second quarters of 2022 Super Bowl.
She executive-produced two Super Bowl spots in 2024, including the Jeremy Renner-led musical commercial for Silk and “Michael CeraVe,” starring Michael Cera. The CeraVe campaign was named the winner of the Super Clio and placed #1 on Ad Age and Adweek’s Super Bowl recap lists. The accolades continued with an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Commercial, a Grand Prix at Cannes Lions, and wins at the Clios, Andys, One Show, D&AD, Tribeca X, Webbys, and more.
While Hargrove remains rooted in advertising, she continues to extend her reach beyond traditional commercials, embracing non-traditional projects including Audi’s “Think Faster - The World’s Fastest AMA” campaign, where Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ conversations were live broadcast from the passenger seat of an Audi going 130 MPH. She developed and executive-produced the podcast 'Dear Cousin' for Audible, which was released in the summer of 2024. Hargrove also serves as a member of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) as well as the AICP West Board of Directors.
