Welcome to the era where AI-generated music, art, and innovative products are becoming the new normal. But a critical question arises: Who owns the rights? Is it the programmer, the user, or the company behind the AI? And what happens if AI-generated content infringes on existing intellectual property—who takes responsibility? Currently, legislators maintain that AI-generated products cannot be copyrighted, leaving them unprotected against infringement. However, with the rapid rise of AI-generated materials, it’s clear that new laws are on the horizon to address this evolving reality. Court cases are already challenging the status quo, signaling growing tensions in the world of IP protection. The stakes couldn’t be higher. At Birdie, we invest significant time researching AI companies' indemnities, warranties, and liabilities to help our clients understand and manage the risks of using AI-generated products in their ad campaigns. Are you ready to navigate this uncharted frontier with confidence?

🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉 As we close the chapter on 2024, we're feeling reflective about the journey we’ve been on and the incredible partnerships we've built. At Birdie, each project, challenge, and success has deepened our commitment to serving our clients with integrity, responsiveness, and creativity. This year, a few key pillars have stood out to us as guiding principles: 1. Trust Goes Both Ways Our clients always come first, but meaningful collaboration requires mutual trust. As business affairs consultants, we’re not here to simply fulfill tasks like waitresses delivering orders. We’re here to advise, strategize, and partner with our clients. Without trust, we can’t bring our full value to the table. Building trust ensures that together, we achieve extraordinary results. 2. Response Time Matters In the digital age, responsiveness isn’t just a courtesy—it’s a necessity. A quick “I’m on it” or “Almost there!” can make all the difference. Silence can leave people feeling isolated or uncertain, and we strive to ensure our clients always know we’re actively engaged in their projects. 3. Balance Delegation “Effective leadership” often equates to delegation, but we’ve learned that it’s more nuanced. Delegation is essential, but being hands-on in critical areas—like new business, client contracts, and finance—is equally vital. We've found success by carefully balancing what we delegate and where we stay deeply involved. 4. Respect Among Coworkers At Birdie, we embrace a gossip-free culture because mutual respect is non-negotiable. Even with differing personalities, our team’s collective strength comes from unwavering support for one another. This unity ensures we consistently deliver exceptional results for our clients. 5. Pivot When Necessary Flexibility has been key this year. Listening to our clients, understanding their concerns, and pivoting when needed allows us to provide tailored solutions. Creativity and adaptability keep us agile, ensuring our strategies always align with our clients' evolving needs. As we enter 2024, we’re more committed than ever to these principles. To our clients, partners, and team—thank you for making this year unforgettable. We’re excited to keep learning, growing, and creating impactful work together. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead! ✨ #NewYearReflection #BusinessAffairs #Trust #Teamwork #Adaptability

 🚨 What’s Next for TikTok in the U.S.? 🚨 Big news: a U.S. court just upheld a law that could force TikTok to be banned or sold by early 2025, citing national security concerns over its ties to China—claims TikTok strongly denies. Now, the company is taking its fight to the Supreme Court, saying the ban threatens free speech for millions of U.S. users. With a January deadline approaching, the future of TikTok is up in the air. Creators and small businesses are gearing up for potential changes, while platforms like Instagram and YouTube are ready to step in. But experts say replicating TikTok’s unique AI-powered experience won’t be easy. What do you think—could you imagine life without TikTok?

This short film featuring Hilary Swank was a project we worked on for ClickOn Media and the BBC. They made a series of docustyle shorts to support and promote tourism throughout the U.S. We helped our client navigate the SAG-AFTRA One Production Only signatory process, as well as leverage existing SAG-AFTRA waivers and remit union Pension & Health fees. https://lnkd.in/gUjqWfR8

Birdie had the pleasure to work with Omelet as creative agency and Scopely for a MonopolyGo! Campaign that we couldn’t be prouder to share with the world. It was delightful working with all of the celebrity agents to land this all-star team of talent, and we worked very hard to close these deals. Birdie's partnerships team goes out of their way to make celebrity deals happen, and our end-to-end business affairs consulting service ensures clients get a holistic approach on all other aspects of the production, including talent, IP, vendor contracts, budgets, FTC best practices and more. https://lnkd.in/efGXBywM

Rare Beauty, created by Selena Gomez, stands out for its message of self-acceptance and mental health awareness. The brand’s mission is to promote beauty as a form of self-love and confidence, aiming to make people feel good about who they are without the need for perfection. We were so excited to work on this gorgeous spot with Fred & Farid LA and we think they did a stunning job capturing all that Rare Beauty stands for. https://lnkd.in/e8qFKcfj

Earlier this month Birdie took an annual retreat to France. This year we met in Bordeaux and enjoyed wine, food, and beautiful knockers.

This year's Birdie employee retreat was in Bordeaux, France. We like to get together once a year to learn new skills, hang out and bond. Since we're remote, seeing each other in person is very important. Any why France? We have a company there to service our EU and U.K. clients called Bird Strike. Plus we like wine and cheese ;-)

We're super proud of the business affairs support we gave to the Ad Council and The Bail Project with Scheme Engine. We love supporting good causes and think this message is really strong.
