Veteran producer Jack Bradley to head East Coast Operations.
HiFi Project, the Santa Monica music production company headed by composer/creative director Paul Robb and executive producer Birgit Roberts, has teamed with music producer Jack Bradley to open an office in New York. Bradley, who assumes the role of partner and executive producer will add his broad-ranging musical resources to HiFi and will now head East Coast operations.
The launch of HiFi, New York, follows the company’s recent expansion of its Santa Monica headquarters, which doubled the size of its production facility and includes a new, purpose-built live room. HiFi now plans to leverage Bradley’s lengthy experience in music and deep relationships in the advertising industry to continue extending its reach and building its creative portfolio.
“We’ve wanted to have a presence in New York for a long time, but we’ve been waiting to find the right person…and now we’ve got him,” said Robb. “Jack has a unique approach to music that will enrich the HiFi brand; he’s a hands-on producer who really likes to involve himself in the process.”
“We talked to a lot of people and Jack’s name kept coming up,” added Roberts. “We were very impressed with his enthusiasm and his knowledge. Our approach to the business is very simpatico.”
Bradley, whose experience as a music producer includes work for Lowe’s, Pizza Hut, ESPN, GE, Walmart and Seattle’s Best Coffee (the latter a radio campaign that just picked up a Bronze Lion at Cannes), said that teaming with HiFi was an opportunity he could not pass up. “Paul is unquestionably one of the top composers in advertising, with superb taste and creative vision, and Birgit is a kindred spirit with a great talent for relationship building,” he asserted. “Together, we make a great team that can build something special.”
Bradley began his career with Arnold Advertising, Boston, where he worked on McDonald’s and other accounts. He later opened a New York office for San Diego-based music house Singing Serpent and served as its executive producer for three years, and more recently created and headed the New York-based music production company Blackboard 3.
Bradley will work with Roberts and Patti Renick, HiFi’s head of sales, to implement a new business development plan and build ties to New York-based agencies. HiFi has recently worked with several New York agencies, including, most recently, Saatchi & Saatchi on a campaign for Olay. Other recent credits for HiFi include Toyota, Lexus, Jenn Air and a recent trailer for the film “Inception.”
HiFi Project is located at 912 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90401. For more information, phone 310.319.1100 or email HiFi here.

A&G’s New Third Space Studios Fills A Community Gap
A&G's (Allen & Gerritsen) new Third Space Studios is not just a full-service production offering for the creative agency. It's filling a gap in the community by making a complete video and production facility (live-action studio, production extension, editorial & motion, and audio services for podcasting, voice-over and online audio) available to all. Larger organizations like Blue Cross Blue Shield Massachusetts and Meet Boston, individuals like creators and collaborators, and nonprofits like the Boston Symphony Orchestra and The Wonderfund are already accessing both the space and the affordable creative and production support that comes with it. The Wonderfund has even tapped the studio for an entire brand relaunch. The studio is an extension of A&G’s Third Space, a new concept the agency opened in Boston and Philadelphia last year to give employees, clients, creators, and even startup incubators (Boston currently has two) a place to gather, dream, and innovate in comfortable surroundings. Located inside its Boston location (125 High Street), Third Space Studios is available to the Tishman Speyer building’s tenants who can use its ZO building app to request studio services ranging from studio rentals to co-creation to full-service production. Other businesses nationwide can request services through the studio website. Albolene, Certain Dri, and ThermaCare are examples of national clients that have utilized... Read More
