Music house Human Worldwide has hired Carol Dunn as its newest executive producer. Dunn joins Human from post-house PS260, where she served as EP in its West Coast office for two years. She will report to Human’s partner and composer Gareth Williams.
In her new role, Dunn will be responsible for developing Human’s business from their L.A. office, growing its model to expand its brand, as well as helping market Human to remain top of mind with current and potential clients. She will also work hand in hand with its sales team, and has an additional role in helping to create the company music as a creative producer.
At PS260, Dunn worked with big-name agencies and brands, including Omnicom, WPP, American Greetings, NBA, Hyatt, Kia, Instagram and TRUTH. She has also served as EP and head of sales at Squeak E Clean Productions and Amber Music, where she oversaw and directed their national sales force, marketing and new business efforts. Duunn also previously held leadership roles at the record labels Capitol Records and Interscope Records, co-producing such soundtracks as Baz Lurhmann’s Romeo + Juliet, Boogie Nights and Office Space.
“Human’s musical output is second to none, and I’m excited to bring my career experience from film and TV to Human with the intention of extending our focus beyond advertising,” Dunn said. “I joined Human because it was an opportunity to set my heart’s passion back on my musical career path with a company that has all the tools to change the idea of how a music house functions in our industry. After a rewarding stint in postproduction, I am overjoyed to be back.”
This news comes on the heels of Human’s expansion with its Sonic Branding department, helmed by sr. producer Craig Caniglia, which has created work for notable brands such as Coca-Cola, IKEA, Visa, GE Appliances, and Lowe’s. In addition, Human’s postproduction department Post Human–led by chief engineer Sloan Alexander–recently mixed projects for adidas, Under Armour, Google, Verizon, and Stella Artois.
