Gordon Angelo Morton

is the Founder and Chief Idea Officer of One88 Media.

He is a filmmaker, travel host, voice-over talent…and recovering businessman.

Gordon has lead teams of creative professionals for the past two decades and his work has been featured in countries all over the world. Running the creative efforts of his own multi-national corporation for over 15 years, he worked closely with businesspeople from Europe, Asia, Latin America, Russia, Africa, and more.

Gordon is an internationally-recognized public speaker and has been a guest lecturer at various universities and institutions worldwide. New York Times best-selling author, Mark Victor Hansen, once said "Gordon is destined to become one of the all-time great speakers. If you haven't heard him-go across cracked glass if you have to to get into his energy orbit!”

The son of an Italian immigrant mother and a Canadian father from Nova Scotia, Gordon grew up in rural Ontario, Canada, and has a passionate love of music and the outdoors.

He has worked with countless humanitarian projects around the globe and was a featured speaker at the United Nation’s International Summit for Young Entrepreneurs in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He has been featured in publications such as Forbes, Playboy, Canadian Business, and more.

An avid skier, he enjoys travel, playing guitar, and spending time in the outdoors with his wife and three children.

Ashley Shipton

Ashley Shipton is One88 Media’s Production Assistant and has elevated “attention to detail” to an art form. In fact, she can identify a continuity error or barely visible mic better than the majority of people on the planet.

Ashley ensures the smooth operation of any project at One88 Media. Armed with accounting experience, she efficiently handles client inquiries, tackles production paperwork, and facilitates the completion of marketing and promotional materials. Ashley has provided support—both on and off-set—for several film and television productions.

A seasoned world traveler, Ashley has spent extensive time traveling abroad to destinations like Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago and countless others. She lists Barcelona as her favorite city in the world and credits the architecture of Antoni Gaudí as “enormously influential” to her worldview.

She enjoys gardening, baseball and Jesse’s Girl by Rick Springfield (don’t you dare judge!).

She was raised in Northern California and has an unnatural fear of ice skates and salad bars. With her husband Tony, and their dog Blue, they form a tight trifecta of happiness in suburban Utah.

Ashley fits every description of a busy, modern professional with her finger on the pulse of worldwide trends and travel.

Her position required extensive travel and international communication planning.

Additionally, Ashley has served as Events Director for the National Charity Awards Dinner in Washington, DC, collaborating with celebrities and politicians, both as presenters, and award recipients.

She is a baseball and hockey super-fan, a fitness enthusiast and a self-proclaimed foodie!

If her life wasn’t busy enough, she is also a successful Real Estate professional, and an international travel blogger, known online as “American Made Ashley". Ashley has been living and traveling around the world since she was young. She has co-hosted segments for travel television and believes that “travel is one of those things that—when done right—never gets old.” Expect straight shootin’ commentary on her professional and personal travels to destinations like Israel, Morocco, Thailand, Colombia, Egypt, and many, many, more.

Her husband is a seasoned law enforcement officer and fellow fitness fanatic. Together they put their organization skills together to raise children and keep the peace.

She likes to escape it all by burying herself in a good book.
