Justin Medley Joins Los York as Director of Growth

The creative studio LOS YORK is further expanding its leadership team and enhancing its creative, design, and production capabilities by hiring Justin Medley as its new Director of Growth. With extensive experience in marketing, advertising, and media sales, Justin brings a wealth of industry knowledge and valuable relationships with top advertising agencies and brands. Prior to joining LOS YORK, he served as the head of business development at Ghost Robot in New York City. Reporting directly to Managing Director Melina Osornio-Andrade, Justin will focus on fostering and maintaining strategic brand partnerships while seeking new business opportunities.

“My journey hasn't been conventional, but I've carved out a niche in this industry,” Justin shared. “I bridge marketing and creative work. I collaborate with producers and directors, strategize with account managers, creatives, and brand leaders, and oversee negotiations and sales. That's my strength, and that's what I bring to LOS YORK. Melina and her team are doing incredible, bold work, and I’m excited to help drive their vision forward. I know in 20 years, I’ll look back and be proud to have been part of such a remarkable organization.”

“Justin is a rare talent,” said Melina. “What truly sets him apart is his ability to deeply understand and listen to brands’ needs, fostering meaningful and lasting partnerships. He connects with brands that embrace the unconventional—those driven to create bold, creatively courageous work. We’re thrilled to have him join the team and look forward to seeing the impact his expertise will have on LOS YORK.”

Over the past two years, LOS YORK has seen significant business growth, strengthening relationships with long-term clients while welcoming new brands such as Motorola, Stellantis, Teva, Logitech, 23andMe, Under Armour, and Disney. LOS YORK’s approach of un-siloing its business, creating cross-disciplinary collaboration, and providing an end-to-end solution for clients has proven successful, especially in 2023 when the studio executed full campaigns from creative ideation to final execution. Notably, campaigns for Under Armour and Motorola have been both strategically effective and creatively brilliant, earning multiple Clio awards.
