    LONDON --

    Above+Beyond has named Laura Graham as head of production, with the brief to lead the London agency’s multi-channel production capabilities.

    Graham joins from Uncommon, where she was executive producer, and reports to Tom Bedwell, managing director of Above+Beyond.

    Before joining Uncommon, she was executive producer at AMV, where she oversaw the ASDA account and led on major projects including Bombay Sapphire’s Cannes Lions award-winning Design Museum installation.

    Graham also spent seven years in production roles at BBH, where she worked with Above+Beyond’s ECD Dom Goldman.

    While her experience includes numerous high-profile, big budget television campaigns, Graham’s also focused on delivering 360-degree campaigns for critical pieces of business and earned a reputation for developing non-traditional production approaches to fit with client format and budget restraints.

    Bedwell said of Graham, “A truly modern producer, with a great back catalog of multichannel work, she’s going to make a huge difference to our work and we can’t wait for her to start.”

    Graham said, “I’m looking forward to partnering with Dom and the team, to create audience focused work across platforms. I’ve always been driven to find new production approaches to meet creative aspirations and I look forward to building on this.”

    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
