Charlie Gatsky Sinclair is the President of Brands & Entertainment at the award winning Uncommon Creative Studio. Charlie has built a team of experts across every discipline to support and execute some of the studio’s most ambitious work of late. Projects include the award-winning B&Q ‘Flip’ celebrated at D&AD, Cannes Lions and British Arrows for film craft and production design. As well as notable global campaigns for brands such as EA Games, Beats by Dre, JD Sports, Formula E, Jordan, British Airways & ITV. 

Charlie’s vision of blending line production, design, talent, art and motion has created a unique production model for Uncommon. Spearheading projects such as WWF’s ‘Future of Nature’ — which used AI to imagine the bleak future of UK nature if it continues to be destroyed, and what is possible if we act now. As well as partnering with the UN and YouTube to create the moving documentary series ‘We Were Here’ bringing together refugees with top YouTube Creators to tell their powerful stories to millions around the world - which recently won Best Documentary at the 2024 Webby.Awards. 

Charlie has also grown the studio’s presence in the world of entertainment — exec producing Uncommon first feature production for Nick Cave and Warren Ellis — ‘This Much I Know to Be True’ directed by Andrew Dominik (Netflix Blonde, The Assassination of Jesse James). The film premiered at Berlinale and SXSW and achieved critical acclaim including The Guardian’s Film of the Week as well as being listed in NME’s top films of last year. 

Most recently she has been behind the studio’s features, ‘In Camera’ — alongside partners PRETTYBIRD, BBC Films, BFI, Public Dreams Ltd. — recently shortlisted at London Film Festival and British Independent Film Awards - the film has received rave reviews with The Guardian giving it four stars calling the piece 'a smart, surreal showbiz satire that hits a nerve.' The film also recently launched in cinemas across the UK through Conic Films.  

Prior to Uncommon, Charlie’s career spanned music, entertainment, film and broadcast with stints at Warner Music and Driift as well as achieving an award winning career across advertising working with the likes of Mother, Fallon and most notably as Head of Production at BBH.
