On Cinco de Mayo, MAM joined in celebrating the annual AMP Awards for Music and Sound at City Winery in Manhattan. We schmoozed with friends and colleagues, and got to see several of our talented clients get recognized for their wonderful work.

This is the third year AMP has recognized and celebrated musicians’ work and contributions within the advertising world.

We were so excited to see our MAM-Fam get in on the awards love!

• BARKING OWL SOUND was nominated for Best Original Song with Seth Olinsky's song "Find Your Fit" for FitBit.

• YESSIAN was one of the two winners for Best Original Song with their song "Showtime" for Opel Corsa.

They were also nominated for Best Use of a Licensed Song with the song "Let It Move You" for Zumba.

• RICHARDS GROUP won Most Impactful Radio Commercial with their song “Autocorrect” for Motel 6.

Their song "Neumonds Recordings" for Wolfstein was also nominated for the same award and for Best Use of Music for a Film or Game Trailer . Further nominations were "Samba of the World", and "House of the Rising Sun" also for Wolfstein for Outstanding Adaptation.

When we weren't cheering on the winners or yakking it up with some cool cats, we were rocking out to some super stellar music from fiercely tantalizing diva Gin Wigmore and sultry electro-pop duo Marian Hill.

Here's one more great big congratulations to our MAM Family, and all the rest of the winners!  We are so proud of all of you, and are honored to be a part of your continuing success.
