About Amy Rio

I’m a passionate creative thinker. Yes, I know that’s a very LinkedIn thing to say, but it’s true. I’m obsessed with the internet (even when it drives me insane), with making videos for clients (even when it’s not easy), and with building communities of like-minded creatives (even when it’s inconvenient). I feel lucky to do what I do - not because of titles or success metrics, but because I get to make things with people I care about. I’ve traveled the world, met people I’d never otherwise cross paths with, and even spent 24 days at sea shooting for cruise lines.I’m a video producer, brand strategist, creative director, team manager, social media addict, prop stylist, talent scout, client wrangler, script writer, and professional cheerleader. I love a good deck, a great idea, and making sure everyone has fun on set. At People Inc, I get to do all this alongside an incredible team, our production partners, and clients who push us to be better. I’m also, proudly, a bit of a chaos enthusiast. Production is messy. Client work is messy. Media is messy. And I love the mess.Since graduating from St. John’s University in 2013, I’ve worked across some of the most dynamic corners of media - from The New York Times’ newsroom and early T Brand Studio days, to the rollercoaster that was AOL/RYOT, to Time Inc (and its many evolutions since). It’s where I’ve learned the most, failed the hardest, grown the fastest, and found the people who make it all worth it. Now, I’m focused on helping build the next chapter of The Studio at People Inc. — the branded content team formerly known as The Foundry — and continuing to create work that’s bold, thoughtful, and just the right amount of messy.
