Headroom (aka Headroom Digital Audio) announces its tenth anniversary since establishing its multifaceted studio space in New York City’s NoMad district. Founded in a tiny workspace by president and creative director Jerry Plotkin, Headroom moved to its current 6,000-square-feet location on Madison Square Park in 2005. Studio architect Fran Manzella and interior designer Janice Caswell helped transform the studio, creating a world-class facility. The company continues to push the boundaries of state-of-the-art audio production across new platforms, channels, and media formats, serving the advertising, broadcast and online industries.
“I had a vision of what a great work environment should be,” said Plotkin, “where employees and clients would enjoy spending their days and a unique company culture would thrive. Headroom is that vision realized. An outstanding studio space, combined with a crew that consistently goes above and beyond—this is what makes the company shine. I look forward to what the next ten years will bring.”
Evan Spear, Headroom’s chief mixer and sound designer, said, “A client recently expressed to us how impressed they were with Headroom’s ability to prosper and grow during such a difficult time in our industry. I think this speaks to our knack for adapting and changing. We’re very good at anticipating not only the needs of our clients but also of the industry as a whole, and staying ahead of the game in everything from PR and marketing to technology and workflows.”
On April 9, to express gratitude towards clients and friends for their support, Headroom organized a party featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff. The industry event drew over 300 guests to the company’s Manhattan facility. Also in honor of its tenth anniversary, Headroom rebranded this year, updating its classic logo with a sleek, more modern alternative. Additionally, this rebranding called for a new, more efficient and user-friendly website, showcasing Headroom’s various projects over the years.
