    LOS ANGELES --

    Bicoastal integrated production studio Humble has hired Rich Pring as managing director/executive producer. Pring will head up the studio’s L.A. office, working closely alongside president/founder Eric Berkowitz to foster the development of the Humble roster and cultivate relationships with agencies and brands alike.

    Pring has worked as an executive producer for over a decade, collaborating with major brands including Apple, Nike, Target, GE, ESPN, Nintendo, Miu Miu, Honda, Beats by Dre and Amazon.

    Pring joins Humble from Psyop, an award-winning collective where he served as executive producer. Brought on to help establish the company’s live action and content production departments in New York and Los Angeles, Pring ushered in the studio’s transition into producing live action in-house. Prior to that, Pring helped to cultivate Green Dot Films for 15 years while succeeding with new and return business from the top advertising agencies and Fortune 100 Companies.

    Berkowitz said of Pring, “He’s not only an incredible producer, but his deep knowledge of fully-integrated production makes him the perfect conduit between strategy, creative, and production at Humble.”

    Supreme Court Allows Multibillion-Dollar Class Action Lawsuit To Proceed Against Meta

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    The Supreme Court is allowing a multibillion-dollar class action investors' lawsuit to proceed against Facebook parent Meta, stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

    The justices heard arguments in November in Meta's bid to shut down the lawsuit. On Friday, they decided that they were wrong to take up the case in the first place.

    Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company was disappointed by the court's action. "The plaintiff's claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the District Court," Stone said in an emailed statement.

    Meta already has paid a $5.1 billion fine and reached a $725 million privacy settlement with users.

    Cambridge Analytica had ties to Trump political strategist Steve Bannon. It had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign.

    The lawsuit is one of two high court cases involving class-action lawsuits against tech companies. The justices also are wrestling with whether to shut down a class action against Nvidia.... Read More
