Production and post studio ArtClass Content has tapped Logan Gilmore and Brian Keegan as its newest executive producers. Keegan, previously head of post at ArtClass for two years, has stepped up to helm the department as an EP. Gilmore has been formally established as an EP at ArtClass after working with the studio as a freelance bidding producer.
Keegan is set to build and expand the postproduction department at ArtClass. In his previous roles at the studio, Keegan has brought many projects to life for high-profile brands like ESPN, GoFundMe, Broadway’s “The Lion King,” PlayStation, Carvana, Anheuser Busch, General Mills, and the SoundCloud-branded narrative film “The Day Ones,” to name a few. Keegan also produced the film “Life’s Good” for LG Electronics, which won Best Short Documentary at the Indie Short Fest and screened at multiple international film festivals. His previous experience in postproduction saw him working with companies like Psyop, Los York, Roger, and the VFX department of Timber.
Hailing from Arkansas, Gilmore first got his start in local markets after graduating with a degree in advertising from the University of Arkansas. He would later pivot to production, working in various roles in Austin, TX, including interning under director David Gordon Green for his film “Joe,” starring Nicolas Cage. Gilmore later found himself producing internal videos for Apple, which inspired a deeper dive into production. From there, he spent years working freelance in production before finding himself at ArtClass. As a bidding producer, he worked on winning jobs for brands like ESPN, Morgan & Morgan, Smirnoff, and Blue Shield.
ArtClass managing partner Geno Imbriale said, “We’re thrilled to be able to promote from within at ArtClass. Our goal has always been to grow careers and nurture talent, and we’re honored any time someone chooses to continue their evolution with us. Brian and Logan are incredible talents and are absolute joys to work with. Everyone from directors to agencies who’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with them is made better for it. I’m very proud of these promotions and can’t wait to see how their efforts shape ArtClass’ future.”
Austrian activist wins privacy/targeted advertising case against Meta over personal data on sexual orientation
The European Union's top court said Friday that social media company Meta can't use public information about a user's sexual orientation obtained outside its platforms for personalized advertising under the bloc's strict data privacy rules.

"An online social network such as Facebook cannot use all of the personal data obtained for the purposes of targeted advertising, without restriction as to time and without distinction as to type of data," the court said in a press release summarizing its decision.
Even though Schrems revealed he was gay in the panel discussion, that "does not authorise the operator of an online social network platform to process other data relating to his sexual orientation, obtained, as the case may be, outside that platform, with a view to aggregating and analysing those data, in order to offer him personalised advertising."
Meta said it was awaiting publication of the court's full judgment and that it "takes privacy very seriously."
