Sophie Gold’s della Positions Itself as the Showrunner for Brands

At Cannes Lions 2026, the industry debated whether creators should replace agencies. Sophie Gold, founder of the Santa Monica and London-based studio della, argues that brands need a showrunner—a dedicated team to maintain a consistent narrative universe rather than relying on fragmented campaigns that reset every week.

Marketing is currently facing a crisis of continuity. Data from Gartner indicates that 59% of CMOs lack the budget to execute long-term strategies, while NielsenIQ reports that executive support for brand building has dropped to 69%. Amid this instability, della functions as an always-on creative studio designed to act as a nervous system for businesses. By mapping what the firm calls a Content Universe across seven core territories—including social, paid media, and internal culture—the studio maintains the through-line that audiences track over time.

Operating with a team of strategists, producers, and creative technologists, the studio integrates directly with client marketing departments to eliminate intermediaries. Gold emphasizes that trust cannot be rented from influencers, but must be built through repeatable, systemized craft. The studio’s approach has already yielded results, including an integrated film project that generated 42.2 million impressions. By focusing on the "showrunner" model, della aims to prevent the drift that occurs when brands treat their output as a series of disconnected spikes rather than an ongoing, coherent story.
