    Will team with director/editor Matt Spaull to oversee Gammut Productions

    ROCHESTER, NY --

    Partners + Napier, an integrated creative company serving national and global brands, has appointed Danene DiCicco to serve as executive producer of  its in-house content production studio, Gammut Productions. DiCicco joins Partners + Napier from MullenLowe U.S. and MMB in Boston.

    DiCicco’s appointment marks a key milestone in Gammut’s growth, launched in October 2020. In her role as EP, DiCicco will complement Matt Spaull, director of Gammut Productions. Spaull oversees the studio’s creative output as a seasoned director and editor.

    “Our mission is to help our clients leave a mark, and our success is shaped not only by the work we create but by how we create it,” said Rob Kottkamp, chief creative officer at Partners + Napier, who previously worked with DiCicco at MullenLowe. He described DiCicco as “a world-class talent” who provides “a depth of perspective that will allow us to accelerate our production capabilities and better satisfy the needs of our clients.”

    While at MullenLowe, DiCicco worked on numerous productions for clients including JetBlue, Hyatt Hotels, Royal Caribbean, Unilever, Athenahealth, and US Cellular. Her work on American Greetings’ “What It Means to Love” spot earned a Cannes Lion. DiCicco also oversaw all broadcast and digital production for the Department of Defense, one of the largest and longest standing accounts in the agency’s history.

    DiCicco also brings a wealth of experience in the restaurant category. In her time at MMB, she spearheaded production duties for Carabba’s Italian Grill and Subway.

    “The biggest draw for me was the culture and energy of Partners + Napier,” said DiCicco. “Finding that in an agency that’s also doing great work and investing in their people is priceless. Gammut Productions is the perfect way to bring that great work to clients in a more efficient and cost-effective way because we do things right in-house.”
     
    DiCicco added, “I’m excited to partner with Matt to expand those capabilities and champion the success of not just Gammut but production at Partners + Napier as a whole.”

    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
