Squeak E. Clean Studios Hires Jennie Armon as East Coast Executive Creative Producer
International music company Squeak E. Clean Studios has brought on seasoned music producer and all-around badass Jennie Armon as executive creative producer, working out of their New York location. She has over 15 years of experience across creative and production roles in the advertising industry, including multiple tenures leading teams at top music and sound companies as well as several agency-side posts, bringing a deep understanding of the holistic creative process. Most recently, Jennie spent seven years with Brooklyn-based music and sound company Found Objects as executive producer and music supervisor, where she worked alongside company founders to grow the company to an award-winning shop working for top clients such as BMW, Uber, Apple, Oreo, Samsung and Nike, among numerous others.
A restless and supportive ally, Jennie’s passion for building a more diverse industry for tomorrow led her to AMP’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee, which most recently raised $26,000 for the AMP x Save the Music Scholarship that will welcome up to five talented, underrepresented students to the advertising music industry. Jennie was also recently inducted into the Guild of Music Supervisors and was named an official voting member for the Grammy Awards. Jennie won a CLIO in the “Music Supervision” category for her work on the trailer for Ridley Scott’s Life in a Day 2020 and her music supervision talents will also be seen on the silver screen for the first time in the upcoming comedy feature I’ll Be Right There starring Edie Falco.
Notes Squeak E. Clean managing director Hamish Macdonald: “Jennies' expertise in the industry ranging from supervision, to production, to advocacy is truly impressive and speaks volumes about her presence and sense of purpose. Her compassion to care for her team and work environment, coupled with her ability to achieve creative excellence goes above and beyond the role of a traditional manager. We are delighted to have her join our Squeak E. Clean team."
Adds Jennie: “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such a powerhouse of artists and producers at Squeak E. Clean Studios and continue to push myself as a producer, mentor and creative. My goal is always to elevate my team and support them with their goals. Whatever they are looking to accomplish, I’m going to give them the support to make that a reality.”
Jennie first found her way to advertising through the agency side, landing a gig as an entry-level creative at Publicis, while spending her nights and weekends moonlighting as a local DJ. Her voracious appetite for music did not go unnoticed by her colleagues and she was quickly pulled into pulling music for pitches; it was then that she realized the potential to carve a path for herself in the advertising music space. Pairing infectiously positive energy with her penchant for being an unyielding champion of all of her team members and collaborators, Jennie has built a career on ruthless creativity and a passion for making a difference. With countless projects under her belt as both a producer and music supervisor, she regards her proudest work as those driving social impact. She worked on the spot “Widen the Lens” for P&G, which shows the harsh reality of how implicit biases spur systemic racism, launching the brand's campaign to widen the view of the joy, beauty and vastness of Black life for which she was recognized at the D&AD Awards and Webby Awards. She also contributed to the spot “Rise and Shine” for the Trombone Shorty Foundation in collaboration with the Jazz and Heritage Foundation of New Orleans, which featured of a cover of “Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky” to promote virtual music lessons as an endeavor to keep musicians working amidst the pandemic.
