    CHICAGO, BOULDER & RALEIGH --

    11 Dollar Bill has hired ad industry vet Jamie Slade as executive producer at its Boulder studio. Slade, whose background includes a post as sr. producer with Crispin Porter+Bogusky, will oversee production and head sales for the postproduction studio, which specializes in creative design, editing and finishing for advertising, branded content and other media.

    “Jamie’s energy, enthusiasm, and versatile experience will fit in perfectly at 11 Dollar Bill and our long-term plan for continued growth and success,” said managing partner Lisa Effress. “In addition to being super talented and goal-oriented, Jamie is also one of the nicest guys around.”

    Slade is well known to 11 Dollar Bill. He partnered with the studio as a freelance producer on several recent projects. He also worked with Effress and the studio’s creative lead Wayde Samuel when they were all on staff at Crispin Porter+Bogusky. “This opportunity came up at the perfect time for me,” Slade said. “11 Dollar Bill has cultivated great talent and is producing inspired work. It’s where I want to be for the long term.”

    Slade has been an executive producer and producer, primarily on the agency side, for more than a decade. For the past three years, he has been a freelancer on projects for Colorado agencies Red Antler (Hasbro, Peppa Pig), Mekanism (Sling TV) and Fortnight Collective (Noodles & Co., Steamboat Springs Resort). He also produced for global agency 72andSunny (Carl’s Jr., Trojan Condoms), and McCann, New York (Converse, MGM Grand, Aria Hotels).

    During his nine-year tenure at Crispin Porter+Bogusky, Slade contributed to multiple accounts including Fruit of the Loom, Jose Cuervo and Infiniti. He was sr. producer on the agency’s Captain Obvious campaign for Hotels.com. As integrated producer, he was involved in its award-winning work for Kraft Mac & Cheese. He also contributed to the global launch of Xbox One.

    “The best producers can read a room instantly, navigate issues, manage tough feedback and keep the team positive,” Slade said. “My role is to stay focused and solutions oriented.”

    Slade’s experience as a producer dates to his college days at the University of Oregon when he produced music videos for local bands, some of which attracted viral engagement of more than a million views. “I didn’t realize at the time that this was going to be my career,” he recalled. “I did it because it was fun.”

    Is “Glicked” The New “Barbenheimer”? “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” Hit Theater Screens

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    "Barbenheimer" was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn't stopped people from trying to make "Glicked" — or even "Babyratu" — happen.

    The counterprogramming of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office.

    And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, "Saw Patrol" ).

    This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation "Wicked" opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic "Gladiator II." Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: "Wickiator," "Wadiator," "Gladwick" and even the eyebrow raising "Gladicked" have all been suggested.

    "'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more," actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of "Gladiator II" this week. "I think we should all band around 'Glicked.' It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it."

    As with "Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, "Glicked" also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging... Read More
