    NEW YORK --

    Nice Shoes has hired Adam Liebowitz as creative director of editorial. This marks the NYC-based creative studio’s official launch of a dedicated creative editorial division, with a roster of talent led by executive producer Tara Holmes.

    Liebowitz comes to Nice Shoes after two decades at his own editorial studio, Go Robot!, and cutting at a number of other top editorial shops. Nice Shoes’ division has grown in reaction to evolving client needs, adding a highly curated slate of creative editors to complement its lineup of artists and producers. The roster of editorial talent will work across Nice Shoes’ global network of interconnected offices in NYC, Chicago, Toronto, Minneapolis and Boston.

    Liebowitz’s has cut projects for such clients as Apple, IBM, UPS, AT&T, Verizon, FedEx, Nike, and NASCAR. His work has earned him recognition from Cannes Lions, AICP, Clios, AICE, and London Film Awards, among numerous other honors.

    In addition to Liebowitz, the international roster features creative editors with backgrounds across multiple genres, including Marcos Castiel, Rami D’Aguiar, Colin Loughlin, John Maloney, Michael Reuter and Dan Suter. Nice Shoes has leveraged its integrated internal creative offerings on a number of recent projects, including a Gillette spot cut by D’Aguiar, AAA and Lipton spots edited by Castiel, an eBay spot from Reuter, as well as two Verizon Visible campaigns edited by Loughlin, both of which engaged the artistry of Nice Shoes’ VFX, design, and color teams.

    The growth into a dedicated editorial division comes on the heels of adding two new colorists: Maria Carretero in New York, and Yulia Bulashenko in Toronto, as well as executive producer Kirsten Anderson in Boston. Both Holmes and managing director Justin Pandolfino have been instrumental in this strategic growth, adapting to industry shifts and addressing expanding client needs across advertising, entertainment, experiential and emerging technology.

    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
