    LOS ANGELES --

    Music shop ELIAS has added executive producers Emily Kimball in New York City and Mat Martin in Chicago. The new hires come on the heels of the recent opening of ELIAS’ Nashville office, led by ECD Vincenzo LoRusso. Kimball is a talented composer and musician who fuses an in-depth knowledge of the musical process with her experience and expertise on the business side to bridge the gap and offer creative solutions to clients across a wide scope of projects and needs. Martin has over a decade of experience in the commercial music space spanning music licensing, producing, sales and marketing roles in Chicago and New York City. 

    Kimball began playing the guitar and writing music at an early age, leading her to study Music Technology at Northeastern University.  After earning her Master’s Degree in Music Theory and Composition at the University of Florida, she shifted gears and transitioned her expertise to the commercial music space. She joined Pulse Music in 2012, quickly working her way up through the ranks to become head of business development and marketing. In her six years with the studio, she worked with a wide range of notable clients including Crayola, Pizza Hut, BMW and Cheerios. Kimball continues to perform with her self-titled Emily Kimball Band and has a new album in the pipeline that is slated to release in 2018.

    Growing up in New York, Martin fed his love for music by composing, performing and recording with various bands, eventually marrying his passion with a career direction in the then emerging field of music supervision. After studying Music Business at Columbia College Chicago, he started his career in the Windy City, nabbing a gig as a marketing/licensing Rep at Uncommon Trax. He spent two years at the music licensing shop working across TV, film and advertising before joining Revolution 9 as a production manager/licensing rep. In 2011, he made the move to NYC, spending six years with Extreme Music as a sales/marketing executive and manager of NY sales and marketing.




    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
