Creative production and post studio Hudson has promoted Annette Gianino to creative editor. She joins a creative team that includes sr. creative editor Rich Smith, audio engineer Spencer Hall and finishing editor Kelsey Ross.
Gianino’s showreel includes stand-out work for clients ranging from Rocket Mortgage to Little Caesars, as well as a myriad of auto clients Hudson is known for. Perhaps the most affecting work on her reel is for the Jewish Federation of Detroit and their “We Need To Talk” campaign that focused on mental health in teens.
“Annette showed her sensitivity, perspective, and storytelling skills with these raw, unscripted, and challenging spots,” said Hudson director/owner Larry August. “The stories were sometimes difficult to put together in a coherent way, but she championed this project and pushed hard to tell each story the best way possible, and gained award-winning recognition for this work. She possesses considerable gifts as a sensitive, perceptive storyteller and we are fortunate to have her as part of our creative team.”

The redacted information — which was inadvertently revealed by Kentucky's attorney general's office and first reported by Kentucky Public Radio — touches on a range of topics, most importantly the extent to which TikTok knew how much time young users were spending on the platform and how sincere it was when rolling out tools aimed at curbing excessive use.
Beyond TikTok use among minors, the complaint alleges the short-form video sharing app has prioritized "beautiful people" on its platform and has noted internally that some of the content-moderation metrics it has publicized are "largely misleading."
The unredacted complaint, which was seen by The Associated Press, was sealed by a Kentucky state judge on Wednesday after state officials filed an emergency motion to seal it.
When reached for comment, TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek said: "It is highly irresponsible of the Associated Press to... Read More
