On 04, Dec 2015 | In News |
COPILOT partnered with Anomaly’s New York office on their new Jolly Ranchers campaign, spanning several television and preroll commercials. Along with the new tag line “Keep On Sucking!”, Anamoly has brought the five Jolly Ranchers flavors (blue raspberry, apple, watermelon, cherry and grape) to life as animated characters.
COPILOT managed the audio side of creative production to develop each character’s unique sounds.

Introducing Rolltape
On 17, Nov 2015 | In News |
Our friend Jessica Taylor recently left Google to launch her own app, called Rolltape. NY Magazine says it is disrupting conversation and TechCrunch describes Rolltape as a “voice messaging app for sharing personal moments with friends.” As audio and music nerds, we enthusiastically describe it as a way to bring your voice, ears, stories and heart back to your communication.
Knowing how sophisticated and plugged-in our community is, we expect lots of you to grab the free app over at iTunes and try it out! Oh, and of course we should mention that we were excited to create the music for the welcome video below and intro tape included in the app. It’s great to be part of innovation.
COPILOT Collaborates with Rokkan and Ghost Robot on The Humane Society’s “Same Day Pups”
COPILOT loved collaborating with Rokkan and Ghost Robot on the Humane Society‘s campaign for “Same Day Pups: Puppy Drone Delivery.” A classic song from 1904 was revived and repurposed, with a fresh feel and bright new sound. It was an honor to work on this project and help raise awareness for an “Upworthy” cause. Music is truly at its best when it can be used to help others.

Acura’s Shift In Sound
Buckle up, it’s going to be a high climb to the top! Eight different gears, eight different artists and COPILOT at the heart of it all. We loved teaming up with Acura and Razorfish on this unique project that included amazing emerging bands, DJs and producers. Artists were assigned a different gear function which inspired them to create innovative and exciting tracks. With the different speeds given to each act, we had the privilege of seeing these projects accelerate from the ground up.
