New York, NY (PRWEB) September 10, 2013 -- CEO Henry Juszkiewicz of Gibson Brands, Inc. (formerly Gibson Guitar Corp.) is featured in season two of AMC’s unscripted series “The Pitch.” This reality-based, docu-style series chronicles rival advertising agencies as they prepare campaigns to try and win a major new piece of business. “The Pitch” premiered on AMC in April 2012, and earned a Critic’s Choice nomination for Best Reality Series – Competition.

While known globally for manufacturing the world’s most iconic guitars, the acquisition of several respected pro audio and consumer electronics brands transformed the company overnight into Gibson Brands. Juszkiewicz, who is known to disdain the ad agency model for marketing, challenged two agencies in Gibson’s home town of Nashville to create a coherent campaign that encompassed the prestige, quality, and level of innovation associated with the company’s entire family of brands in a powerful yet affordable way.

“The Pitch” probes the incredible lengths, intense stakes and tight deadlines advertising agencies encounter when they take aim at a new piece of business. Each episode follows two creative shops as they work day and night for seven days, building a campaign to try and win over the brand. A real competition, major stakes and a ticking clock are all elements of this docu-style series.

“‘The Pitch’ explores just how hard it is to come up with a good creative idea, and, once you have it, how hard it is to sell it. The series is only as good as the agencies and brands that participate in the process and thankfully the people we’re featuring in season two are contributing some compelling and captivating stories,” said Joel Stillerman, AMC’s EVP of original programming, production and digital content.

Show times are September 19, at 11p.m ET/PT, September 20, at 2a.m. ET/PT, and September 26, at 4a.m. and 9 a.m. ET/PT (subtract one hour for Central Time and two hours for Mountain Time).

AMC’s Joel Stillerman, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Production and Digital Content, Mary Conlon, Vice President of Non-Scripted Original Programming and Ari Mark, Director of Non-Scripted Original Programming, oversee development and production for the series. “The Pitch” is executive produced by Eli Holzman, Stephen Lambert, Domini Hofmann and Aaron Saidman, for All3Media America (“Undercover Boss”). Season two consists of eight, one-hour episodes and premiered Thursday, August 15 at 11pm.
