We are honored to be shortlisted for 2 AMP Awards for Original Music AND Best Use of Music and Sound in New Media Marketing for “Taste My Face”. Thank you to Townhouse x Applebee’s for trusting us with original music for this tasty campaign and congrats to our fellow nominees! See you at Sony Hall on May 22nd for the 2023 AMP awards.

Weekend reading of the throwback variety: Stereogum profiled “Hey There Delilah” in their ‘Number Ones’ series. A bit of trivia – this chart-topper was produced by Heavy Duty founder and ECD Ariel Rechtshaid, but it didn’t land a number one spot without some twists and turns.

Thank you to the VML Y&R Team for inviting Heavy Duty to help tell this story for Smartwater. “I Be Dancin” by Dawdy was co-written and produced by Heavy Duty Publishing’s Christian Medice.

Feels on Feels on Feels. Another special trailer music collab with Secretly Group. We’re especially proud of this Bon Iver placement which uses our remix of “Hey Ma” to set the tone for Apple TV+’s Dear Edward trailer. Special thanks to the AV Squad and our friends at Apple.

We are thrilled to join an all-star line up for Dentsu Creative x Subway’s “Behind The Series” campaign, featuring Derek Jeter, Steph Curry and Tony Romo, with original music by Heavy Duty.

We are incredibly proud to share that Heavy Duty Publishing has had its biggest year of growth yet: bigger team, bigger catalog, some new awards and some amazing new talent. With more than 40 writers, producers and artists now on the roster, we wanted to take a moment and share some highlights from the 2022 catalog.

Now available on our website, our sampler series “Heavy Lifting” is now client-facing and searchable on DISCO. Everything is customizable, and as always we’re happy to do custom music pulls. Set a bookmark and Happy Listening!

“Move Your Feet” with Samsung! Offering Iris Worldwide multiple music services, we music supervised the campaign, landing on this iconic Junior Senior tune, clearing and re-mixing it. Nimbly navigated by Heavy Duty Producer Tom Cathcart out of our UK Office.
