Big thanks to Hecho for bringing us on to music supervise the latest spot for Adobe Firefly. The surreal visuals are beautifully matched by Sudan Archives’ just-released track “Dead” – a bold and beautiful pairing. + big love to our friends at StonesThrow and OTM.
Fresh out of Heavy Duty London: an original composition for Square’s latest campaign. We had a blast bringing this one to life – a track that spotlights innovation and possibility in perfect sync with Square’s sleek new creative.

Big congratulations to Heavy Duty Publishing Roster Artist Jessica Pratt on her well-deserved wins at the 2025 A2IM Libera Awards, taking home Record of the Year, Best Singer-Songwriter Record, and Best Folk Record!
Heavy Duty is proud to represent Jessica and her extraordinary songwriting. It’s a true honor to see her singular voice recognized at the highest level in independent music.
We’re incredibly proud that our work with CSAA and Deloitte earned Silver in the Effies Sustained Success – Services category – and that “Boys No More” was named an Effies finalist! Big love to the brands out there that embrace music as a strategic, culture-driving force – and aren’t afraid to push creative boundaries in pursuit of proven success. Huge thanks to “Boys No More”, whose talent and charm made this campaign sing.
Big fizzy cheers to our Coca-Cola clients and the creative powerhouse that is Ogilvy NY! Their “Recycle Me” campaign just scooped up four more shiny pencils at D&AD Awards, bringing the grand total to 25+ awards around the globe. We like to think our team crushed the creative brief (and then recycled it, of course). Original music by Heavy Duty Zach Pollakoff.
We’re amped to have handled the music for Casamigos’ new global campaign, “Anything Goes with My Casamigos,” brought to life by the always-brilliant Alex Prager. William Onyeabor’s “Fantastic Man” sets the tone with its vibrant, feel-good energy, perfectly matching Casamigos’ celebration of friendship and adventure.
Big night at the Shorty Awards for “The Subversive Score.”
Winner – Brand Awareness Campaign
Winner – Music + Dance
Finalist – Launch Campaign
Gold Honor – Auto
Created in close partnership with Lincoln and their fearless creative team at Hudson Rouge, and brought to life by the talented RESET, edited by Whitehouse, this campaign challenged the conventions of what automotive advertising sounds like – and that’s exactly why it resonated.
At the heart of it all was a client willing to take risks. One who understood that when music leads, rather than follows, it opens the door to emotional storytelling with real staying power. We’re proud that Heavy Duty’s original score and full length song “Kaleidoscope Bliss” didn’t just underscore the work, it became the voice of it.
Just dropped: the official Season 2 trailer for ‘STRIFE’, featuring the beautiful burst of chaotic energy that is Caroline Polachek’s “Welcome to My Island” – co-written by Heavy Duty’s Daniel Nigro and Jim-E Stack.
