As Furlined approaches its 20th anniversary this June, the production company is celebrating with a meaningful reunion. Furlined is officially reuniting with Barrie Isaacson Management on the East Coast, rekindling a partnership grounded in shared history, creative shorthand, and a deep mutual respect.
“This is a homecoming of sorts,” says Diane McArter, President and Founder of Furlined. “Barrie and I first worked together at my former company, Omaha Pictures, and that collaboration helped define the earliest days of Furlined. The imprint of that relationship is still felt today, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to embark on this next chapter together.”
Directing duo Will Speck & Josh Gordon, founding directors at Furlined, echoed the sentiment: “Sometimes you have to look back to move forward. We couldn’t be more excited to rejoin forces with Barrie and her team.”
For Barrie Isaacson Mann, the return marks a full-circle moment. “Diane McArter launched my career as an independent sales rep, and I’ve watched with admiration as she built Furlined into one of the most respected companies in the business,” she said. “My team and I are honored to represent Furlined’s exceptional roster on the East Coast and forge new creative opportunities together.”
The renewed partnership also marks a bittersweet farewell to longtime collaborators Philip and Dani Fox-Mills. “As we look to the future, we also want to express our deep appreciation for Philip and Dani’s incredible work over the past seven years,” added McArter. “They are, and always will be, part of the Furlined family.”
Looking ahead, Furlined and Barrie Isaacson Management will work hand-in-hand to navigate the evolving landscape of advertising and branded content—where creativity, culture, and commerce increasingly intersect.
