AI-specialist production company The Fourthe appoints Nick Kelly as Executive Producer

AI-specialist production company Fourthe has announced the appointment of Nick Kelly as Executive Producer, reuniting him with founders and long-time collaborators Jay Topping and Digby Hogan.

Recognised for his forward-thinking approach and calm, collaborative style, Kelly has spent his career delivering top-tier work for prominent global clients, agencies, and production companies.

His extensive industry background includes agency-side production roles at Saatchi & Saatchi and M&C Saatchi in London. In addition to a recent tenure at Good Oil in New Zealand, Kelly also worked for six years producing at Eight Productions in Australia alongside Fourthe co-founder, Jay Topping.

While The Fourthe makes its mark at the forefront of emerging technology, the studio views these advanced capabilities through a veteran production lens. Kelly’s appointment anchors this creative-led approach, bringing close to two decades of traditional production experience to the changing landscape.

Says Kelly: “I’m excited to be reconnecting with familiar faces as the industry moves in this new direction. Bringing clients in early to test, experiment, and prove out the technology creates a level of creative freedom you rarely get in traditional setups, whether we’re supporting a live-action shoot, solving a post puzzle, or building from scratch.”

Co-founders Jay Topping and Digby Hogan believe Kelly’s background is exactly what the industry needs as next-generation production setups become more mainstream.

“As the tech continues to evolve, it’s more important than ever to have traditional production experience in the room to channel those efforts,” says Topping. “Clients, creatives, and producers still expect the structure, rigour and guardrails that come with traditional filmmaking. Nick brings the exact experience needed to protect that process.”
