Beck Media & Marketing announced a pair of agency acquisitions today: Beaucoup Media, a music-forward Nashville-based agency founded Amber Williams-Wright, and Big Noise PR, a San Francisco-based media-technology boutique led by Bronagh Hanley. The combined companies will operate under the Beck Media banner, effective immediately.
Hanley will serve Beck Media in an advisory role during the transition. Williams-Wright has joined Beck Media as Vice President, based in Nashville. The deals closed earlier this year, and Beck Media says Big Noise clients and staff have already been integrated into the larger operation.
“Today’s dual acquisition announcement is an important milestone in the ongoing transformation of Beck Media,” said CEO and founder Todd Beck. “With the help of our stellar management team, since the start of the year we have reimagined our operating structure to maximize our competitive advantages, ramped up talent acquisition and retention efforts, and sought strategic acquisitions that...

At first glance, nine types of Emmy Awards for sound seems a bewilderingly large number. To enlighten the confused, TV sound professionals are eager to shed light on the differences between sound editing and sound mixing — two separate peer groups in the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences — as well as the genres within each category.
The sound editor, explains Wylie Stateman, nominated as co-supervising editor for “Godless,” is primarily responsible for organizing, synchronizing and clarifying the soundtrack. “First and primary responsibility is with dialogue, from production through completion and delivery,” he says.
Stateman, who did most of his work for the Netflix show at Light Iron in New York, further notes: “We need to add the sounds of the environment and take out inappropriate ones, and synchronize them all successfully. The goal is to not obscure the dialogue, and to sound like everything is in the right acoustical space.” Sound...
