Post house Uppercut has brought Kate Soczka aboard as executive producer in Atlanta.
Soczka moved to Atlanta from Chicago in 2020, where she cultivated her creative career including serving as head of production at Carbon and producing for brands such as MillerCoors, Constellation Brands, KitchenAid, Jeep, Capital One, Lululemon, and Cars.com. Partnering with agencies and marketing companies, Soczka established herself as a collaborative partner for on-set production, post-production, and live events.
Most recently, she held tenure as the video operations lead for The Coca-Cola Company Creative Studios, where she managed studio operations, creative production, and development of international creative teams producing internal and social messaging.
Soczka said, “I’m looking forward to leading the Uppercut powerhouse in the South while cultivating the creative community this area offers. We’ve got an incredible working space at The Works and I envision Uppercut as a collaborative leader in this market for innovative storytelling.”
“Kate is an incredible leader,” says Micah Scarpelli, editor and owner of Uppercut. “She’s truly done everything as a producer in the ad space and has such a rich history in postproduction as well. She’s authentic in how much she cares about the artists, teams, and clients she works with. She wants people to know they’re valued and support their growth and does it all while steering the ship toward excellence and producing incredible work.”
Uppercut maintains operations in New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles. Uppercut launched in NYC in 2015 and has continued to grow its boutique postproduction offerings, building out a roster of diverse creative talent as well as expanding its offerings into VFX and launching its partner music company, Racket Club.
