    NEW YORK --

    Indie film and content studio Bindery has promoted Carter Collins to partner, executive producer. 

    Since joining the NYC-based studio in 2015, Collins has been instrumental in growing Bindery into a modern production partner that offers integrated, full-service capabilities across branded content and original entertainment. As partner, Collins will lead Bindery’s direct-to-brand offering, which accounts for 70% of the business. 

    “Carter is the epitome of a modern maker. He’s deeply connected to the craft and a great shepherd of our clients’ brands,” said Greg Beauchamp, founder of Bindery. “Over the past four years, Carter has helped shape Bindery into a full-service studio, while also producing our most award-winning original content.” 

    Collins’ accomplishments include forging new relationships within the booming DTC and direct-to-brand markets. He oversees strategy, creative and production for DTC sock brand Bombas and was behind a dozen successful campaigns in 2019 alone. This has led to more work for DTC brands including Brooklinen, Birchbox, Stitch Fix, Myro, Etsy, SeatGeek and Verishop. 

    On the original content side, Collins produced ZION, a short documentary film that premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival where it was acquired by Netflix and went on to have a successful festival and awards run including winning two Emmys and being one of ten films to be shortlisted for the 2019 Academy Award for short documentaries. 

    “Bindery’s approach is modern, integrated and led by actual makers. One that streamlines the process and is aligned with the realities of marketers and the media landscape,” said Collins. “I’m excited to grow our practice that marries a filmmaker-led approach with speed and efficiency.”

    Prior to Bindery Collins worked at a variety of agencies, most recently Johannes Leonardo where he led multiple accounts, including adidas Originals, as well as business development. Throughout his career, he’s worked on a number of creatively-awarded campaigns that have been recognized by shows such as The Clios, Webbys, D&AD and Cannes Lions, including a Grand Prix.

    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
