    NEW YORK --

    The AMP Awards for Music & Sound has released the lineup for its 2019 Curatorial Committee. Selected by members of the AMP Awards Committee in consultation with AMP Awards Show chair Katy Hornaday, EVP and executive creative director at the independent agency Barkley, the panel will review all category finalists and choose the competition’s coveted Best in Show winner.

    In addition to announcing its curatorial roster, the AMP Awards is also now accepting ticket orders for its Tuesday, May 21st awards show at Sony Hall in New York, which promises to be a sell-out.

    Comprised of top ad agency creatives and producers, postproduction artists and executives from music companies, record label and music publishers, the Curatorial Committee includes the following:

    • Morgan Taylor Bradley, editor, Cutters
    • Amanda Butts, group creative director, Leo Burnett
    • Liz Cartwright, creative director, TBWAChiatDay, L.A.
    • Karen Goodman, group creative director, Havas, Chicago
    • Keith D’Arcy, SVP, commercial synch, Kobalt Music
    • Stephanie Diaz-Matos, music supervisor, Bonfire Collective
    • Marianna Dutra, VP/creative director, Publicis, New York
    • Paul Greco, executive director of music & audio, Wunderman Thompson, New York
    • Cyndi Goretski, VP branding & advertising, Warner Music Group
    • Tom Eaton, SVP of music for advertising, Universal Music Publishing
    • Melany Esfeld, head of production, Barkley
    • Claude Mitchell, sr. music director, ESPN
    • Alex Moulton, chief creative officer, Trollbäck + Company
    • Halle Petro, executive creative producer, Sonic Union
    • Nick Sonderup, creative director, Pereira & O’Dell, New York
    • Maggie Wasserman, executive producer, Garmin International

    “Once again we’ve assembled a Curatorial Committee that reflects an impressive cross-section of our industry,” said AMP president Elad Marish, partner at Swell Music + Sound in San Francisco. “Its members are all experts at putting music and sound to picture to create something larger than the sum of its parts. With their guidance, our competition will single out the strongest entry in each category, and ensure that those doing the best work get their moment in the sun.”

    Added Hornaday, “I’m looking forward to our discussions about the work, and hearing the diverse perspectives from all the different areas of the music business that are represented. I’ve judged a lot of awards shows, but this is the first time I’ll be presiding over a panel that includes people from music labels and publishing companies, as well as agency creatives and producers. I’m eager to tap into everyone’s insights as we search for that one entry destined to be the Best in Show.”

    The only juried, non-profit competition dedicated to honoring achievements in music and sound in all media, the AMP Awards are sponsored by the Association of Music Producers. Among the highlights of the awards show night will be the presentation of the AMP Hall of Fame trophy, bestowed upon an innovative marketer in recognition of its continued use of music and sound in building strong consumer engagement. The event also includes live performances from up-and-coming artists, which has led to it being known as “the loudest show in the ad industry.” To purchase tickets for the event, click here.

    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
