MAS’ Musical Ride on Carnival Cruise
Music service agency MAS (Music and Strategy) recently handled music supervision on a sunny spot for Carnival Cruise. As a wall of boat- and beach-themed pictures leap to streaming life onscreen, MAS harnesses its expertise in communicating the essence of a brand through music, selecting a Katie Herzig song that was the story’s perfect narrative complement.

For example: “We collaborated closely with the agency to understand exactly the sort of track they were looking for,” notes MAS Managing Director and Executive Producer James Alvich. “Our music supervisors Gabe Hilfer and Jim Black pulled together a selection of songs that enhanced the excitement and warmth of the spot. ‘Lost and Found’ really created the mood everyone was looking for. ”
The Carnival Cruise spot is the latest in a string of high-profile work for MAS, following the creation of original music for Aerie by American Eagle and a comprehensive music partnership with Kate Spade New York featuring the Vivian Girls.
