Headquartered in London with offices in New York, Miami, Paris, Hong Kong, and Singapore, Sutton harnesses its extensive experience with major visionaries shaping contemporary culture. This past year, the agency successfully retained major U.S. institutions while executing campaigns that bridge diverse industries. A highlight includes enlisting tennis star Venus Williams to host a podcast for the Carnegie Museum of Art, leveraging her global influence to attract new audiences. In the design sector, Sutton partnered with Kohler and creative Samuel Ross (SR_A) to debut his new products at Design Miami/ and Salone del Mobile. In beauty, Sutton enhanced Frederic Malle's presence by curating events around major art world moments such as The Armory Show and Art Basel Miami Beach, effectively reaching art-focused audiences. Sutton also facilitated intersections between art, technology, and luxury hospitality through strategic partnerships with Artlogic and the Fifth Avenue Hotel, expanding the agency's influence across multiple sectors. The past year also marked substantial growth internally; clients increasingly sought Sutton's expertise beyond media relations, engaging the agency for paid advertising, digital marketing, and strategic partnerships. The team also expanded its expertise with new hires, including arts journalist and cultural strategist Alexxa Gotthardt, and Directors Christopher Bramah-Calvert and Jessie Cohen.
