CHICAGO'S SCOUT SIGNS ENDLESS NOISE FOR MIDWEST REPRESENTATION; Also: Nike "Freestyle" Sound Design from Endless Noise Honored in 2002 AICP Show, Set to Tour U.S. and Europe

LA's Grammy and Clio-winning music and "musical sound design" company Endless Noise has been honored with yet another award for their commercial work on Nike's phenomenal "Freestyle" campaign that will bring the project to major arts venues across the U.S and around the world -- and the company is also announcing representation throughout midwest U.S. markets by Chicago's SCOUT / A Karen Kovach company. Please read on for all the details.

(PRWEB) June 21, 2002 - Award-winning sound design and music company Endless Noise today announced that they have signed an agreement with Chicago-based SCOUT / A Karen Kovach Company, for commercial-project representation throughout the midwest. SCOUT was founded in 1990 by 16-year ad industry veteran Karen Kovach, who co-founded advertising and commercial production industry portal eCreativeSearch - and is also currently executive vice president for digital advertising distributor FastChannel Network.

"SCOUT strives to represent exceptional talent in distinct niches, and based on our experience, Endless Noise truly stands apart in commercial music and sound design," said SCOUT representative Colleen McHale.

"In their ability to compose a song from sounds, no one approaches their level of expertise," McHale continued. "At the same time, the company's creative director Jeff Elmassian is a Grammy-winning composer who is capable of working in any genre. We want to make sure that people know exactly who they are here in the midwest - and that they understand the full range of their capabilities."

"The midwest has unique strengths for many product categories," said Endless Noise's creative director Jeff Elmassian, "and I have complete faith in Karen Kovach's and Colleen McHale's abilities to communicate our vast capabilities to the region's top creatives."

According to McHale, screenings of Endless Noise's reel have received very enthusiastic responses from agency creatives in Minneapolis and Detroit. More screenings are set for Chicago's creative community in the weeks ahead.

Endless Noise is represented on the west coast by Santa Monica-based Char & Associates (www.char-associates.com).
