Former tomandandy producer Marit Burch has been hired to work in the same capacity at Sacred Noise, New York. At her new post, Burch will oversee commercial projects and serve as liaison between clients and the music house’s four composers.
"It’s a very supportive environment to work in. So far, I’m still getting to know all the personalities," said Burch, after a week into the job.
Burch joined the music industry after graduating in ’97 from The University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb. Her first job after college was as a producer at Pfeifer Music Partners, Los Angeles. She was a producer at bicoastal tomandandy for two years: first in the Los Angeles office, then in New York. "I jumped at the chance to live in New York," she said.
Burch first met Sacred Noise executive producer Jeff Rosner a few months ago, during a birthday party for Eric Soloway, a producer at Young & Rubicam, New York. "I got a sense of what [Burch] was about, with no agenda involved," said Rosner. A few months after that party, on a tip that Rosner was looking for a producer, Burch called him to explore prospects.
Rosner said that he and Sacred Noise creative director/co-owner/composer Michael Montes were impressed with Burch’s "knowledge of the music industry in such a short amount of time." Rosner added, "We wanted someone who was relatively new to the business, and who had the ability to learn the way we’ve done things over the years." Burch seemed to be a perfect fit.
At tomandandy, Burch spent six months working exclusively on the UPN television show The Beat, directed by Barry Levinson. Her additional credits include Embassy Suites’ "806" via TBWA/Chiat/Day, New York; and Suretrade.com’s "Pioneer" and "Mavericks," via Wieden + Kennedy, New York.
According to Rosner, Burch’s upcoming projects at Sacred Noise will include Pontiac’s "Olympic" and "Non-Olympic" via DMB&B, New York; Cover Girl’s "Bonding" via Grey Advertising, New York; and Carday. com’s "Mother" and "Nitpicker" via BBDO New York.
Sacred Noise composers include Montes, David Gennaro, Charles Lovejoy, and Ravi Krishnaswami. Rosner reps the shop.
