    LOS ANGELES --

    Wondros Collective has added director Jeffrey DeChausse to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. DeChausse is an award-winning creative who has directed and produced assorted commercials, documentaries and short films. His body of work spans such brands as Apple, Lexus, Toyota, Budweiser, New Balance, Honda, Microsoft, Levi’s and Jeep, among many others.

    Wondros sr. executive producer Danielle Peretz described DeChausse as “truly a multidimensional and multifaceted” writer/director/creative who is “very active and in-tune with today’s ever-evolving marketplace within the commercial, branded content and the NFT space. He’s an inspirational force to have on our team.”

    Born in Italy and currently residing in Los Angeles, DeChausse was a creative director for varied agencies before starting his directing career. His years of experience across diverse work environments have molded him into a strategic thinker and problem solver. Among his agency roosts were Havas in Chicago as a creative director and MullenLowe in Boston as a sr. art director. His work has garnered recognition from Cannes, D&AD, ADDY, The One Show and Clio, among other competitions. And DeChausse directed a Midwest Emmy-winning commercial for 100 Club, an organization that supports the families of fallen police, firefighter and rescue workers.

    DeChausse has written and directed six award-winning narrative and documentary short films that have been selected for 30 film festivals globally. His work has screened and been honored at the Austin Film Festival, the Madrid International Film Festival, the Buenos Aires International Film Festival, the Los Angeles Short Film Festival, the Newport International Film Festival, among numerous other events. DeChausse’s filmography includes such shorts as Anniversario, Five, No Place To Fall, and American Auto.

    Prior to joining Wondros Collective, DeChausse had been handled in the ad arena by Seed Media Arts. He continues to run Tiny Elephant, a creative and ideation collective based in L.A. and Tokyo. DeChausse is interested in extending his creative reach, noting, “I am really passionate about NFT and the Metaverse space, and bringing ethos into those spaces, continuing to help clients learn about that space since it’s so new and exciting.”

    DeChausse was drawn to Wondros by its talent, resources and the opportunity to work with Peretz and founder/CEO Jesse Dylan. “I’ve always been a fan of great storytelling and I’ve long admired what Jesse and his team have been building at Wondros,” said DeChausse. “When Danielle and I reconnected, we dove into everything she’s up to on the commercial/branded content side at Wondros Collective, along with the incredible opportunities that the overall company has to offer a collaborative person like me, in terms of creative direction and expansion into technology.  We decided now was the time to join forces and make some great work together. I’m excited to be within a company where I can do what I love–collaborate in the creation of great stories with the opportunity to do so in transformational ways that can ideally help people, and potentially better society and humanity.”

    DeChausse now gains his first opportunity to work with Peretz. But the director said that joining Wondros made him feel like he was reuniting with Peretz in that they have been friends for 15 years in the commercial and film business, and he’s been a long-time admirer of how she has built and managed directorial careers.

    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
