BROOKLYN, NY — Boutique audio post production company Heard City (http://heardcity.com) has plans to open a second office, this one in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. Like its Manhattan location, Heard City Brooklyn will service the advertising, motion picture and television industries, and will include a lineup of mixers and producers.
Heard City anticipates the new studio at 20 Jay Street will be open around Thanksgiving of this year. The 4,000-square-foot space is being designed by Murdock Solon Architects and will have unobstructed views of the Brooklyn Bridge. Once finished, the facility will be home to two mix rooms, a live room and music control room. Employees from the Manhattan and DUMBO offices will be free to work from either location, furthering Heard City’s collaborative way of working.
“DUMBO is a digital creative hub, and our clients are playing in this space more than ever,” says Gloria Pitagorsky, managing director of Heard City. “We’re thrilled to be a neighbor to all of the hottest digital agencies, start-ups and tech companies, and want to add another layer of creativity to the mix.”
“Within our industry, the creative landscape is quickly expanding on both sides of the East River,” adds Heard City partner, Phil Loeb. “At Heard City, we are respecting this truth by being one of the first audio post production companies to have a full-fledged set of studios in both Brooklyn and Manhattan. Innovative and important work is being produced in DUMBO, and we are very excited to become a partner and resource for the neighborhood.”
Heard City was founded in 2012 and has worked with clients that include AT&T, ESPN, IBM and Bud Light. The company has grown 50 percent since its inception.
