Heavy Duty’s Zach Pollakoff sat down with postPerspective for their Behind the Title series, talking his winding path through music and advertising, vinyl DJing, and an Amtrak dependency he has no plans to quit. Read the feature here.

Lovable AI’s latest spot “Some Ideas Are Too Loud To Ignore” was named The Drum’s Ad of the Day on March 10th. Heavy Duty Projects provided music supervision to the ‘Earworm’ campaign, out of Even/Odd.

New music supervision work for Lovable with our pals Even/Odd.

The campaign playfully integrates Swedish band Boko Yout’s earworm “9-2-5” throughout the spot, with the band themselves popping up in places you’d least expect.

Heavy Duty assisted with music search, band casting, and clearance for this inspired, music-driven spot.

OFF DUTY is an interview series where Heavy Duty talks with some of our favorite producers and collaborators about their musical processes.

In our debut episode, Heavy Duty Executive Creative Producer and Partner Zach Pollakoff talks with composer Jerome Potter. Also known as JeromeLOL, Jerome is one half of DJDS and a Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter who has collaborated with Burna Boy, Khalid, and countless others. Watch the two talk about cycling, the art of note-taking, and the curious practice of not listening to music as a musician, soundtracked by Jerome’s “Codes”, written for Heavy Duty Projects.
